Abstract

A retrospective study has been made of 355 fractures of the os calcis involving the subtalar joint in order to determine the best method of treatment. A rating system was used to assess the different types of injury. The results were correlated with the pattern of depression of the posterior articular surface, the quality of restoration of this surface and the type of trauma. We conclude that Duparc Stage V fractures require reconstruction/arthrodesis (the Stulz proceedure). Duparc Stage I fractures, and Stage III or IV with grade I depression, should be treated conservatively with early mobilisation. Stage III or IV fractures with grade II or III depression require operation in order to restore and maintain a congruent posterior joint surface to allow early mobilisation.
