title: [Fractures of the tarsus and metatarus in children--diagnosis, treatment, results].
abstract: Within 4 years (September 1977 to September 1981) 169 closed fractures of the feet were seen at our paediatric-surgical outpatient dept. Special therapeutic problems arose only in fractures of the talus and the calcaneus, although necrosis of the talus were rare. Concerning treatment a plaster cast, sufficient relief and early arch-support are essential. Fractures of the other tarsal bones were mostly without problems, a conservative treatment was used for these cases.
