In the case of a heel fracture, even without special treatment, it is possible to heal spontaneously as long as one rests thoroughly in bed, does not bear weight, and does not put pressure on the fracture, but the prerequisite is the severity of the heel fracture itself. If there is a very serious dislocation, joint surface collapse, etc., which must be treated surgically, the heel will heal automatically, but because the position is not corrected, heel pain will occur whenever walking on the ground. This automatic healing loses all meaning and does not solve the actual problem of the heel fracture at all. Even if the heel fracture is not misaligned and there are no obvious indications for surgical treatment, it should be protected by an external fixation in a cast. In such a case there is a slight movement and the heel fracture site will not be further dislocated in order to protect the position and allow it to heal automatically.
