Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Calcaneal fractures are difficult to treat because of their often-related sequelae. The authors present a simple, rapid, economic, and easy-to-perform technique that uses percutaneously positioned Kirschner wires plus a plaster cast for the reduction and stabilization of certain calcaneal fractures. A review of the relevant literature is also provided.
