Heel (calcaneus) fracture - PiedRéseau Rive-Sud
The PiedRéseau Rive-Sud clinic offers specialized care for heel fractures, also known as calcaneus fractures. This service is crucial, as heel fractures, while rare, can lead to serious complications if not addressed promptly.

Patients experiencing a heel fracture will receive comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs.
Located in Saint-Romuald, our clinic is dedicated to addressing various foot-related health issues, including heel fractures. The unique anatomical position of the calcaneus makes it susceptible to injury from significant impacts, such as falls or accidents.

The PiedRéseau Rive-Sud team consists of two podiatrists, Dr. Audrey Gilbert and Dr. Vincent Coulombe, along with three nurses and two assistants. Each team member plays a vital role in providing care for heel fractures, from initial assessment to rehabilitation. Our clinic’s collaborative approach ensures that patients receive the highest quality of care in a supportive environment, helping them regain their mobility and quality of life.
