Abstract
The quest for the best treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures continues. The open reduction and internal fixation of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures yields the best results if anatomic reduction is obtained and complications are avoided. The sinus tarsi approach is becoming the new gold standard. In cases with severe comminution or when anatomic reduction cannot be obtained, a primary subtalar arthrodesis is a valuable option, if the overall anatomy of the calcaneus is corrected first. This review discusses the open reduction and internal fixation of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures and the indications and technique of the primary arthrodesis.
