| Popis: | Soft tissue defects and wound healing complications related to calcaneus fractures may result in significant morbidity. The management of these soft tissue complications requires following reconstructive principles that provide the requisites for preservation of the injured limb and the maximization of function. Soft tissue complications are addressed with methods that commensurate with the degree of injury, ranging from local wound care to free flap reconstruction. With the orthoplastic approach to both bone and soft tissue plastic reconstruction, outcomes for limb salvage are greatly enhanced. This article discusses in detail the reconstructive ladder for soft tissue injuries associated with calcaneus fractures. |
