title: [Abductor digiti minimi-plasty: a local muscle flap for treatment of calcaneus fractures with limited soft tissue injuries].
abstract: Wound healing complications and osteitis following calcaneus fractures are common problems due to compromised local soft-tissue perfusion. Transposition of the M. abductor digiti minimi was successfully performed in 12 cases. The problem of soft tissue coverage could be solved by this procedure. Up to now, no negative influence on the myo-osseous architecture of the feet could be observed.
