What's the common name of this fracture?
For fun... Calcaneus fracture or otherwise known as?

That's right!
“Lover’s Fracture”
- Results from axial load, jumps, hard falls
- Decreased Boehler’s angle (less than 20 degrees), normal is >20 but normal angle can be seen in fx
- 75% majority have intraarticular extension to subtalar joint
- 10% bilateral
- Think also other axial load injuries like vertebral burst fx (”DON JUAN FRACTURES” )
- Think Pilon fx of ankle
- Stress fx is more linear along posterior edge of calcaneus (runners, diabetics, and older individuals)
