[Surgical treatment of calcanear fractures (103 cases). Reconstruction-arthrodesis, or reconstruction (author's...

In a twelve-year period, 103 calcanear fractures (thalamus) were operated on, either by the Stulz procedure (calcanear Reconstruction-subtalar Arthrodesis [83 cases]), or by Reconstruction (20 cases). During the first seven years, the Stulz procedure had been performed systematically. During the following five years, indications were shaded between 28 reconstruction-arthrodesis and 20 reconstructions. A complete preoperative radiological study, including especially horizontal calcanear tomography enables to precise what type of injuries affects the four different parts of the calcaneus, and to choose between either procedure.
