Abstract
Calcaneal fractures, being the most common tarsal fractures, pose a therapeutic challenge. Even today there is no consensus on their ideal treatment.
The authors present review of current literature focusing on this topic. Diagnostic techniques and most commonly used classification systems are discussed as well as the algorithm for conservative or surgical treatment based on the current trends.
Among surgical procedures and implants, various open and minimally invasive techniques are presented, together with a variety of implants, including screws, nails and plates. Most frequent complications, their prevention and solutions are also scrutinized
