  • Title: [Remote results of treatment of compression fractures of the calcaneus].
    Author: Reut NI.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1976 Apr; 116(4):95-7. PubMed ID: 960507.
    Abstract:
    Late results of treatment in fractures of the calcanean bone were studied in 72 patients within the terms from 2 to 11 years. In 41 of these cases a grave compression fracture of the calcanean bone was observed, in 9--there was a damage of both calcanean bones. 37 patients were treated clinically and 4--under outpatient conditions. Skeletal extension was used in 12 patients during 10--25 days, in 3--it was complicated with suppuration. Manual reposition was employed in 19 cases, and it was not used in 6. It is the author's opinion that permanent and one-moment skeletal extension by multiple pins inserted under general aneshesia and roentgeno-telecontrol should be preferred.
