[Importance of CT-scanning in the evaluation of calcaneal fractures].
The aim of the study is to evaluate the use fullness of CT in the calcaneal fractures.


METHODS
We reviewed retrospectively 20 cases of calcaneal fractures collected between 2000 and 2003.


RESULTS
We describe the different CT-scan patterns in 20 calcaneal fractures, according to Sanders classification. CT-scan helps for understanding fractures displacements, for choosing surgical treatment and evaluating patient prognosis.
