The radiograph shows a tongue-type calcaneus fracture, with major displacement of the posterior calcaneal body/tuberosity. The Achilles tendon insertion here causes characteristic proximal and posterior displacement, and with increasing displacement, posterior skin necrosis can be caused in a short period. Per the references, this should be treated urgently to prevent this sequelae. Lag screw fixation is appropriate for this fracture pattern, placed perpendicular to the fracture.
