title: [Current status of the treatment of calcaneus fractures in adults].
abstract: Today, contradictory concepts and various methods of treatment are discussed. The interpretation of a questionnaire recording 2600 calcaneus fractures collected from 51 Traumatological Depts of the GDR permits the conclusion that conservative therapy predominates. Attention is drawn to the method of functional treatment. Good results were observed with it in all types of fractures of the calcaneus.
