The reason for conservative treatment of heel fractures is that conservative treatment can avoid or minimize the effects of surgical treatment, such as infection, pain, and impact on physical function. However, it should be noted that not all heel bone fractures should be treated conservatively as much as possible, and the specific treatment should be judged after medical examination. 1. Avoid infection: The blood circulation of the skin near the heel bone is poor, which is prone to infection, ischemia or necrosis after surgery. And the surrounding soft tissue is less, once infection occurs, the infected lesion is not easy to be limited, which can easily cause septic osteomyelitis, and can lead to the formation of sinus tract and fistula if the wound does not heal for a long time, and conservative treatment can avoid this kind of situation. 2. Reduce pain: the heel bone is in the subcutaneous position, for the general displacement is not big or mild displacement of the fracture using physical correction can be reset, such as the use of gypsum fixation method, do not have to endure the pain of surgery and secondary surgery to remove the plate screws caused by the trauma. 3. Avoid affecting the physical function: the heel bone belongs to cancellous bone, during the surgery, it is easy to cause the compression of the cancellous bone at the fracture end, thus changing the angle of the arch of the foot, the arch of the foot and the angle of the heel node become smaller, which will affect the patient’s physical function such as the speed of walking and the weight-bearing function, etc. After recovery, it can be avoided by adopting the conservative treatment. In addition, conservative treatment is recommended for older patients or patients with serious underlying diseases that are not suitable for surgery, such as serious heart disease, kidney disease, blood system diseases, etc. Heel bone fracture should not blindly adopt conservative treatment, and should be promptly consulted and examined in order to avoid delaying the condition.
