The subject of this report is the evaluation of 46 comminuted displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures in 40 patients treated by open reduction and internal fixation. The results were validated by a score based on objective findings and a subjective gradation obtained by a visual analyzing score (VAS). The results were excellent or good in 30 treated fractures, while the results in 9 fractures were validated a satisfactory and in 7 as unsatisfactory. The results concerning disability and need for workman's compensation were promising in patients who had suffered fractures known to result in a high disability and compensation rate.
