Abstract:
The authors report the results obtained from a study of 41 cases of calcaneal fractures. Surgical treatment, when possible, is to be applied because it allows a satisfactory reconstruction of the subtalar and calcaneocuboid joint. The choice of various surgical methods is facilitated by computerised tomography which allows a precise assessment of the calcaneum. The quality and the stability of the reduction determine in a significant way the functional result.
