There is a short fracture within the posterior third of the calcaneus involving the superior cortex. Edema is present around the fracture extending through the marrow of the bone. Findings are most likely evidence of a stress injury. The fracture is incomplete and only nvolves the upper portion of the pone. The fracture line is slightly greater than 1cm in length.
No other fracture can be identified. Soft tissues appear normal. The Achilles tendon is normal. There is no evidence of Achilles tear.
There is a small area of soft tissue edema and fluid directly overlying the Achilles tendon attachment on the calcaneus. Other soft tissues around the heel appear normal. No other abnormality can be identified.

I have an appointment this afternoon with an Orthopedic Surgeon just to get a second opinion. Not that I don't believe I have a stress fracture, but a second opinion may give me a better sense of what I'm dealing with, how far along it is healed and if I should even consider racing Oceanside in 11 days.
