title: Stabilization of displaced articular fragments in calcaneal fractures using bioabsorbable pin fixation: a technique guide.
abstract: Successful operative intervention in displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures depends in part on the maintenance of an anatomic reduction of the posterior facet. This guide describes our use of bioabsorbable implants to solve this problem.
