We reviewed the calcaneus fractures with the subtalar joint disruption which had been reduced with a Steinmann pin as original method and the calcaneus was transfixed with Kirschner wires to the talus, cuboid or navicule for maintenance of the reduction. The plaster fixation was not applied and exercise of the ankle joint was instructed as soon as possible. Full weight bearing was started twelve weeks after reduction.
Results were excellent in 4 cases, good in 2 cases fair in 3 cases and poor in 1 case.
Nine of them were able to come back their orginal jobs.
