Abstract :
Calcaneum fractures account for
approximately 2% of all fracturesand 65% of tarsal
injuries, with displaced intra-articular fractures
comprising60% to 75% of these injuries. The treatment
of calcaneum fractures continues to pose a challenge for
the trauma surgeons despite advancement in surgical
technique and implant devices. So it is the need of the
hour, to identify treatment techniques, which use lesser
hardware, and provide better functional outcomes in
terms of shorter duration of treatment, better stability
and early weight bearing. Thus this study aimed at
evaluation of functional outcome of surgicalmanagement
of fracture calcaneum who attended the Department of
Orthopaedicsof Maharaja Agrasen Hospital during the
period of study. Materials and Methods: the study was
retrospective as well as prospective, Observational study
of 29 patients with intra-articular calcaneum fractures
from 18 to 55 years of age, who were operated at
Department of Orthopaedics, Maharaja Agrasen
Hospital, New Delhi during the period of study, with
Keywords :
Calcaneum, Intra Articular Fracture.
