[Value of functional treatment of severe calcaneus fractures].
Preservation of the gliding joint and muscular strength, avoidance of contracture, and improvement of gait pattern are the major objectives in treatment of patients for severe calcaneal fracture. Follow-up checks were applied to 170 patients, with particular reference being made to the value of functional therapy. Unobstructed mobility of the talocrural joint was recorded from 90 percent of them. Occupational fitness was reduced in 25 percent of the above cases.
