[Evaluation of functional results after fractures of the calcaneus (author's transl)]

The author describes a scale of rating for the evaluation of the results of fractures of the calcaneus, similar to that used for the evaluation of hip function. Five points are given for walking ability, pain, mobility and triceps power. The last point is considered to be essential. This evaluation was tested on 232 cases. A close correlation was established between the four criteria.
