Holiday Heel: How Calcaneal Fractures Break Your Season

In this episode Dr. G explains “holiday heel” — calcaneal (heel) fractures that spike during the holidays from ladder falls, slips and carrying heavy decorations. Learn the common mechanisms, key exam findings (plantar bruising, Mulder’s sign, inability to bear weight), and why diabetics are at higher risk due to neuropathy, poor bone quality, and slower healing.

Dr. G covers emergency concerns such as compartment syndrome, diagnostic steps including x-ray and CT, immediate management (non‑weightbearing, splinting, ER evaluation), expected recovery, and diabetic-specific complications. The episode finishes with clear prevention tips: ladder safety, proper footwear, clearing hazards, checking blood sugar, and delegating risky tasks.
