Summary

In this procedure, the provider performs open surgical treatment of a calcaneal, or heel bone, fracture. He may or may not use implants like screws or nails to fix the fracture. The provider also obtains a cancellous bone graft, typically from the iliac crest, through a separate incision and uses it to fix the fracture.
