Abstract

Heel pain is a prevalent issue in young athletes, often arising from overuse and increased sporting demands. While Sever's Disease is the predominant cause, various other entities, including stress-related injuries and pathologies like tumors and bone lesions, contribute to this condition. The complex hind foot anatomy, encompassing ossicles, physis, and soft tissues, may lead to heel pain. This study aims to provide physicians with a clinically oriented narrative review of adolescent heel pain, supported by illustrative cases. Conclusion: This study aims to offer physicians a comprehensive understanding of the concepts surrounding heel pain in adolescents.
