[Experiment studies on fractures of the human calcaneus under vertical pressure (author's transl)]. 1977

R Plaue, and B Oellers, and G Salditt

In 60 cases typical compression fractures of the calcaneus were achieved by means of static compression of the test preparation. Afterwards the load bearing capacity of the fractured calcaneus was studied. In case of pure vertical compression the calcaneus does not loose much stability. The load bearing capacity of the studied bones after fracture achieved on an average still 63% of the initial value. In adequate cases of compression fractures, not only the early mobilization but the early weight bearing has to be discussed.
