Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Podiatric medicine

Background:

  • Calcaneal fractures carry a high risk of long-term disability.
  • Complications include subfibular impingement, peroneal tendon irritation, sural nerve issues, and posttraumatic arthritis.
  • Symptomatic calcaneal malunion necessitates thorough evaluation to identify pain sources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the potential for disability following calcaneal fractures.
  • To outline evaluation methods for symptomatic calcaneal malunion.
  • To discuss treatment options, including subtalar distraction arthrodesis.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic evaluation of symptomatic calcaneal malunion.
  • Review of conservative and operative management strategies.
  • Analysis of outcomes for subtalar distraction arthrodesis.

Main Results:

  • Disability is a significant risk regardless of conservative or operative treatment.
  • Nonsurgical treatments can be effective for symptomatic malunion.
  • Subtalar distraction arthrodesis demonstrates high success and satisfaction rates in selected patients.

Conclusions:

  • Calcaneal fractures can result in substantial disability and complications.
  • A systematic approach is crucial for managing symptomatic malunion.
  • Subtalar distraction arthrodesis is a viable surgical option for specific cases, offering good outcomes.
