The avulsion fractures of the calcaneal tuberosity represent a rare model of injury that is caused by a powerful tension force of the Achilles tendon associated or not to direct shock to the calcaneus. Case report: we report a case of direct trauma to the heel on the edge of the swimming pool at the sport stroke of swimming. Percutaneous reduction by bone reduction forceps under fluoroscopy fluoroscopy with osteosynthesis by two percutaneous cannula screws on Kirchner wires. Equine cast immobilization after removal of the threads. Good clinical and functional radiological evolution. Conclusion: the percutaneous screw under fluoroscopy is the best technique with good results anatomical and functional and aesthetic.
