[Conservative therapeutic procedure of fractures of the os calcis based on late results (author's transl)].
Difficult fractures of the calcaneus are therapeutic problem today. From 1965 to 1977 147 patients were non-operative treated in the department of general surgery - including cases from department of orthopedic surgery. 67 patients with fractures of the os calcis were controlled between 3 and 15 years after accident. The various methods of conservative treatment are discussed. The early functional treatment had the better late results than other conservative methods i.e.: fewer pain and better flexibility of the talo-calcaneo-navicular and talo-calcanean joint, sooner taking up of the former occupation and lower decrease in performance.
