Abstract

Symptomatic bone metastases to the calcaneus are rare.1 Minimally invasive percutaneous augmentation is an option in the palliative management of patients with metastatic bone disease, and has been commonly used in the setting of vertebral compression fractures.2 Calcaneal augmentation can potentially allow for earlier weight bearing and a shorter period of disability. A case report is presented of percutaneous intra-articular calcaneal fracture augmentation using polymethyl methacrylate.
