ANSWER: (D) Compression fractureREF: Manual of orthopedics by Marc F. Swiontkowski MD 6th ed Ch: 7Burst Compression fractures of the lumbar spine are associated with fractures of calcaneus in a setting where a person falls and land on foot. This type of fracture is called a Don Juan fracture.Calcaneal fractures are more frequent than any other fracture of the tarsal bones and comprise 1% to 2% of all fractures. These fractures, which are often bilateral, are likely to occur when a person falls from a height and lands on the heels.
