    AbstractCalcaneal fractures account for up to 75% of all foot fractures and 1% to 2% of all fractures. Approximately 75% of calcaneal fractures are intraarticular, resulting in a prolonged recovery, more pain, and disability. The most common mechanism of injury includes falls from a height and motor vehicle accidents. This article reviews studies that compare nonoperative with operative treatment. The literature continues to support surgical intervention; however, these injuries can still be managed nonoperatively in certain clinical scenarios. This article focuses on the surgical management of intraarticular calcaneal fractures and highlights the sinus tarsi approach.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
