Incidence of plantar calcaneal spur, posterior calcaneal spur and association of such incidences with age, gender and side were all evaluated.\nResults\nIncidences of plantar calcaneal spur and posterior calcaneal spur were detected as 32.2% (male: 31%, female: 34%) and 13.1% (male: 11%, female: 16%), respectively. Incidence of plantar calcaneal spur increased by age whereas there was not any association with gender and location. The highest incidence was detected as 41.8% over 70 years of age. Incidence of posterior calcaneal spur increased by age and female gender whereas no significant association was observed with location. The highest incidence was detected as 22.3% between 61 and 70 years of age.\nConclusion\nIncidences of plantar and posterior calcaneal spur were detected as 32.2% and 13.1%, respectively. Both plantar and posterior calcaneal spur incidence increases by age. Posterior calcaneal spur occurs significantly more frequently in females while, no difference is found between the males and females in incidence of the plantar calcaneal spur.\nLevel of evidence\nLevel IV, diagnostic study.\nER -<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aott.2018.06.013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,29]],"date-time":"2018-08-29T08:23:46Z","timestamp":1535531026000},"page":"367-371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["The age dependent change in the incidence of calcaneal spur"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Ozan","family":"BEYTEM\u00dcR","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet","family":"\u00d6NC\u00dc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2018.06.013_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"39","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fas.2011.03.003","article-title":"Plantar fasciitis and the calcaneal spur: fact or fiction?","volume":"18","author":"Johal","year":"2012","journal-title":"Foot Ankle Surg"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2018.06.013_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"352","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079201300611","article-title":"Calcaneal spurs in a black African population","volume":"13","author":"Banadda","year":"1992","journal-title":"Foot Ankle"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2018.06.013_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2474-15-87","article-title":"Changes in prevalence of calcaneal spurs in men & women: a random population from a trauma clinic","volume":"15","author":"Toumi","year":"2014","journal-title":"BMC Musculoskelet Disord"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2018.06.013_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"502","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-1015925","article-title":"The incidence, age dependence and sex distribution of the calcaneal spur.
