Abstract
in English, French

Twenty-eight patients with displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus treated by open reduction and fixation were compared with 30 patients with similar fractures treated conservatively. Judged by the clinical and radiographic criteria results were more satisfactory in the surgical group than in the nonoperative group, although high rates of poor results were encountered in both groups.

Vingt-huit patients avec une fracture intra-articulaire déplacée du calcanéum et traitée par réduction et fixation interne ont été comparés avec trente patients présentant une fracture similaire mais traitée de façon conservatrice. Selon les critères cliniques et radiographiques de Järvholm et coll., les auteurs, bien que trouvant une fréquence élevée de mauvais résultats dans les deux groupes, ont de meilleurs résultats dans le groupe chirurgical.
