PodChatLive: Episode 28 with Alicia James [Calcaneal apophysitis / Severs disease]
Calcaneal apophysitis, also known as Sever’s disease, is a common condition in children and adolescents that affects the growth plate in the heel bone, specifically the calcaneus. This condition typically occurs during periods of rapid growth, often between the ages of 8 and 14 for boys and 8 and 13 for girls. Calcaneal apophysitis is not actually a disease but rather an inflammation of the growth plate due to repetitive stress and tension on the heel.
