Abstract

Calcaneum fractures are debilitating injuries with high complication rates and poor functional outcomes after both operative and non-operative management. The optimal management of such fractures is still highly debated in the literature with conflicting evidence on the preferred management of displaced intra-articular calcaneum fractures (DICAF). This article reviews the current concepts in the management of DIACF.
