title: [Intra-articular juvenile calcaneus fractures in skiing].
abstract: Calcaneal fractures are extremely rare in children with intraarticular fractures occurring between 8 and 14 years. This report refers to two cases with displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus sustained from skiing. Results of surgery were proven to be excellent. As essential prerogatives of successful treatment elaborate diagnostics including computerized tomography, experience in doing surgery on the calcaneus and knowledge about the special entities of the growing skeleton are mandatory.
