Malunited calcaneal fractures cause painful complications. This review covers their pathoanatomy, diagnosis, and surgical reconstruction outcomes for better patient management.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

  • Calcaneal fractures are complex injuries often leading to malunion.
  • Malunion of calcaneal fractures can result in significant long-term morbidity and pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the pathoanatomy of malunited calcaneal fractures.
  • To review diagnostic approaches for painful sequelae.
  • To summarize reconstructive surgical options and their outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on calcaneal fracture malunion.
  • Analysis of pathoanatomic features and clinical presentations.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic imaging and treatment modalities.

Main Results:

  • Malunited calcaneal fractures exhibit specific pathoanatomic deformities.
  • Painful sequelae include arthritis, nerve entrapment, and biomechanical dysfunction.
  • Reconstructive surgery offers potential for pain relief and functional improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding pathoanatomy is crucial for effective management of malunited calcaneal fractures.
  • A systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment is necessary.
  • Surgical reconstruction can yield favorable outcomes for select patients.
