  • Title: Joint-Preserving Osteotomies for Malaligned Intraarticular Calcaneal Fractures.
    Author: Benirschke SK, Kramer PA.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2016 Mar; 21(1):111-22. PubMed ID: 26915782.
    Abstract:
    Intraarticular calcaneal fracture treatments that result in malalignment often require reconstructive surgery. Seven cases are used to demonstrate the intricacies of reconstructive case management. Reestablishment of calcaneal height, length, orientation, and position relative to the other tarsals is necessary to reestablish appropriate foot function. Inherent or acquired gastrocnemius equinus should be treated with recession to reduce destructive forces on the reconstruction.
