[Experience with plating of intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus].
There have been various attempts to improve the results of treatment of fractures of the calcaneus in recent decades. Descriptions of conservative treatment with plaster cast, functional treatment and several methods of closed and open reduction and stabilization have been published. We believe that, especially in young patients, intraarticular fractures with depression of the posterior articular facet should be treated by open anatomical reduction, autologous bone grafting and stabilization with plates. In our clinic 15 fractures of the calcaneus have been treated in this manner in the last few years, and the results are very satisfying.
