Effect of the Displacement of Calcaneal Bone Peripheral Fragment in its Fracture on the Function of the Three-Headed Calf Muscle

  • In the structure of musculoskeletal injuries, calcaneal fractures account for up to 4 % of all skeletal fractures and up to 60 % of hindfoot fractures. The effect of the displacement of the peripheral fragment of the calcaneus on the calf muscles’s reaction forces at the time of the adoption of the simplified squatting position was investigated by modeling in AnyBody Modeling System 6.0 software. M.gastrocnemius (lateralis et medialis) in the initial phase of motion in all variants of the peripheral fragment displacement did not develop sufficient muscular effort in comparison to the intact calcaneus. M.soleus medialis et lateralis showed significant increase in muscle activity rates in the initial phase of motion (41.87 ± 1.90 H and 52.07 ± 2.10 H) before reaching its maximum values, as compared with those of the intact calcaneus. In the final phase of the movement, upon muscle reaches its maximum length, muscular strength indicators of the m.soleus returned to their original values or were significantly below them. The decline in muscle strength was due to shortening of the moment arm or muscle excursion in case of convergence of muscle attachment points. When the peripheral fragment is displaced, due to putting down the heel to the surface of the support in terms of anatomical muscle lengthening, it takes extra effort to achieve rest length and its maximum power. In all types of the displacement of the peripheral fragment, the function of three-headed calf muscle is disturbed with involvement of additional muscular effort and energy expenditure. This fact should motivate the surgeon on the need for accurate repositioning of bone fragments in calcaneal fractures with the displacement of the peripheral fragment.
