Abstract:
The treatment of calcaneal fractures has evolved over time. Despite understanding the pathomechanics involved, these fractures remain difficult to treat. Advances in imaging and surgical technology have enabled experienced fracture surgeons to obtain consistent results. Obtaining anatomic reduction at the time of surgery is not paramount importance. Minimally invasive approaches and the emergence of new technology may aid surgeons who treat these complex fractures.

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
