  • Title: Corrective Osteotomies for Malunited Extra-Articular Calcaneal Fractures.
    Author: Ketz J, Clare M, Sanders R.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2016 Mar; 21(1):135-45. PubMed ID: 26915784.
    Abstract:
    The most effective way to treat calcaneal malunions is avoidance. With any articular fracture, progressive arthrosis and dysfunction are common. By restoring the anatomy initially through reduction, late reconstructive options become less complicated. Numerous studies have shown that restoration of the anatomic alignment either through percutaneous or open techniques is effective. In patients with no or minimal articular degeneration, extrarticular joint-sparing procedures can be performed. This represents a small select group who may benefit from simple osteotomy procedures with associated soft tissue reconstruction, if needed.
