- Abstract
Calcaneal apophysitis, also known as Sever's disease, is the most common cause of heel pain in children. This condition is usually seen between the ages of 8 and 15 years. The differential diagnosis for a child presenting with heel pain may include Achilles tendonitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, calcaneal stress fractures, osteomyelitis, or plantar fasciitis. This study presents a 12-year-old boy with a four-month history of right heel pain, and aims to evaluate signs and symptoms, diagnostic approaches, and treatment protocols for the disease in light of current literature.
