Abstract
Subtotal or partial calcanectomy is a well-documented procedure. Its application in both ambulatory and nonambulatory patients with chronic heel ulceration is proposed as a desirable alternative to amputation. The authors expand on the candidate spectrum and discuss history, indications, criteria, technique, and postoperative course in different patient populations.
