Question
What could be the cause of a 10-year-old boy’s heel pain that has been ongoing for half a month?
Answer
According to the description, the child may have a calcaneal fracture. It is recommended to undergo an X-ray examination including anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique views to determine if there is a fracture. The examination should include a comparison of both sides. The doctor needs to understand whether the pain occurs in one foot or both feet.
