Symmetrical reversed plantar calcaneal spurs in children. A normal variant?

H M Robinson. Radiology. 1976 Apr.

Abstract

Three cases of unrelated children who have symmetrical posteriorly directed plantar calcaneal spurs are presented. Only one reference to this appearance could be found in the English literature. These spurs are asymptomatic and probably represent variations in the normal development of the calcaneus.
