Ergebnisse nach operativer Versorgung intraartikulärer Calcaneusfrakturen

The operative management of displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures is demanding for the surgeon. Precise preoperative diagnosis, classification and planning is indispensable for succesful treatment. Surgery aims at anatomical restoration of the calcaneal shape as well as exact reduction of the joint facets, especially at the subtalar joint. Even minor steps of 1 – 2 millimeters are associated with the development of painful posttraumatic arthritis.
