Do we really need radiographic assessment for the diagnosis of non-specific heel pain (calcaneal apophysitis) in children?
Skeletal Radiology, 08/14/09

Kose O – Calcaneal apophysitis is a self–limiting disease, and patients can be treated conservatively.

Therefore, obtaining radiographs as an initial step in their evaluation does not seem to be justified.
