Mid-term follow up results of Calcaneal Reconstruction for the Late Complication of Calcaneus Fracture

Abstract

Introduction/Purpose: Calcaneal fracture is the most common fracture in hindfoot. The treatment is challenging, because of various patterns of fractures and high complication rates which leads to high level of dysfunction and low satisfaction of the patients. There are many previous studies reporting various methods about treatment of calcaneal malunion, such as subtalar arthrodesis, corrective osteotomy and corrective osteotomy with subtalar arthrodesis. However, there are no mid-term clinical results reporting about lateral ostectomy and sliding osteotomy, which is called calcaneal reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mid-term clinical and radiologic results of calcaneal reconstruction in the patients who have chronic complications after calcaneal fracture.
