Core Tip

Core Tip: We present a case of a 55-year-old male patient who suffered from heel pain. Imaging examination revealed a large accessory bone located on the plantar surface of the calcaneus, slightly behind the insertion point of the plantar fascia. The heel pain was alleviated by the removal of os subcalcis.
