title: [Evaluation of remote results in 80 intra-articular calcaneal fractures treated by various methods].
abstract: The studies were done in 69 patients in whom 80 intra-articular calcaneus fractures were diagnosed of tongue or crush type. In the analysis of the remote results a subjective three-grade evaluation of the results was used as reported by the patients. The good results in 60% were closely related to the reconstruction of the shape of the calcaneus and its articular surface with simultaneous restoration of functional fitness of the foot. It was found that the fractures of tongue type were to be reduced by the Westhues method, while the crush fractures were to be treated surgically or functionally. Poor results were observed in all fractures not reduced and not immobilised additionally in plaster casts.
