[Articular fractures of the calcaneum. Therapeutic indications based on a series of 105 cases].
The authors have treated 105 articular fractures of the calcaneum. Three methods were tested: open reduction and fixation, conservative treatment with early mobilization, primary subtalar arthrodesis. The final results were satisfactory in 85% of the cases. However the three above groups were hardly comparable. Details on the radiological study of these fractures are given. The authors conclude that when osteosynthesis obtained a perfect anatomical reduction, functional results were good. But perfect reduction was rarely obtained. Final results could be improved by a better selection of the surgical cases and a better surgical technique.
