Abstract:
We describe our early experiences using the new AO plate for open reduction and internal fixation of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum. An overview of our operative technique based on 22 cases is given. The relative merits of the new plate are discussed and we conclude that the plate is a useful device for dealing with this complex injury.
