Abstract

Inappropriate treatment for calcaneus fracture may result in malunion causing long-lasting pain and functional deficits. When such complications occur, the ideal principle of management is preserving congruence and motion of adjacent joints. For three patients with calcaneus fracture malunion, subtalar joint-preserving surgery using exostectomy and corrective osteotomy was performed, and satisfactory outcomes were achieved postoperatively.
