[Surgical treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the calcaneus].
The authors examine the anatomophysiologic peculiarities of the calcaneus area which cause difficulties in the treatment of osteomyelitis of the calcaneus. The surgical treatment of 53 patients suffering from osteomyelitis of the calcaneus is analysed. Three types of surgical procedures are described; they consist in a radical resection of the calcaneus from the inside using the osteoplastic approach to the focus of the lesion, which allows to create the optimal conditions for reparative osteogenesis in the osseous cavity that has been formed. The follow-up results after 1 to 5 years were positive in 86.8% of the operated patients.
