ABSTRACT
Fractures of the calcaneus are infrequent but most often serious. We report a series of 27 cases of surgically treated calcaneal fractures in the orthopedic trauma department of the Delafontaine Hospital in Saint Denis (Paris) between 2002 and 2017. The purpose of this retrospective study was to present the principles and evaluate the results of surgical treatment of articular fractures of the calcaneus, in comparison with the conservative treatment. There were 17 men and 10 women, ranging in age from 20 to 57 years old. The etiology was dominated by road accidents and falls from a high place. The evaluation of lesions was based on the classification of DUPARC. The treatment consisted of an open reduction and osteosynthesis by plate, or by screwing. The clinical results were evaluated based on the kitaoka score, with a mean follow-up of 12 months. 77% of our patients had a good average result.
