The calcaneus is situated at the most plantar posterior aspect of the foot. The Achilles tendon inserts to the lower, posterior and slightly medial aspect of the calcaneus. The plantar fascia originates from the medial tubercle on the plantar aspect of the calcaneus. Proximal to the epiphysis is the apophysis, where the Achilles tendon actually inserts. The calcaneal growth plate and apophysis are situated in an area subject to high stress from the plantar and Achilles tendon. [2] | |||

Search Strategy[edit | edit source]
To collect some information about this topic, I searched the Web of Knowledge database, the PeDro database and the Pubmed database. The main keywords I used were: Sever’s Disease, Calcaneal Apophysitis, physiotherapy, physical therapy, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation (often a combination of keywords). I also consulted books for my research (resources).
Most successful keywords: Sever’s Disease; Calcaneal Apophysitis; treatment; physical therapy.
Keyword combinations: Sever’s Disease treatment ; Calcaneal Apophysitis treatment; physical therapy calcaneal apophysitis.
Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Sever’s disease, also known as calcaneal apophysitis or Osgood-Schlatter syndrome of the foot. This traction apophysitis is secondary to repetitive microtraumata or overuse of the heel in young athletes. [1]
Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The calcaneus is situated at the most plantar posterior aspect of the foot. The Achilles tendon inserts to the lower, posterior and slightly medial aspect of the calcaneus. The plantar fascia originates from the medial tubercle on the plantar aspect of the calcaneus. Proximal to the epiphysis is the apophysis, where the Achilles tendon actually inserts. The calcaneal growth plate and apophysis are situated in an area subject to high stress from the plantar and Achilles tendon. [2]
