EXPERIENCE OF TREATMENT OF INTRAARTICULAR FRACTURES OF THE HEEL BONE, USING THE OVEROSSEOUS OSTEOSYNTHESIS

  • V. S. Kozopas

Abstract

The results were analyzed, concerning treatment of 39 injured persons, suffering intrajoint fractures of the heel bone, in whom the method of overosseous metaloosteosynthesis was applied. The results were estimated in accordance to AOFAS scale (The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score) in 6 and 12 mo. Application of metaloosteosynthesis guarantees restoration of anatomical ratio in a changed joint and the heel bone contours, necessitating substitution of a spongy tissue defect in majority of patients.
