Fractures of the Heel Bone
Diagnosis of Heel Bone Fractures
X-rays Sometimes computed tomography (See also Diagnosis .) If doctors suspect that the heel bone is fractured, they take x-rays, which usually show the fracture if present. But sometimes computed tomography (CT) is needed. CT combines x-rays with computer technology to produce a more detailed, three-dimensional image of the injured area. Because heel fractures result from great force, doctors also check for other injuries, such as fractures of the knee or spine.
