Popis: Introduction: As minimal invasive techniques for depressed calcaneal fracture treatment have become more common, great progress has been achieved with various surgical methods. While these techniques are still currently utilized, new methods have been developed. This study aimed to report the radiologic and clinical outcomes of depressed calcaneal fracture treatment with the “push-out molding” technique and to propose its clinical utility. Materials and methods: From March 2009 to October 2020, a retrospective study was conducted with 52 patients, who received the “push-out molding” technique to treat depressed intra-articular calcaneal fractures (Sanders type II, III, IV). Exclusion criteria were as follows: patients with bilateral calcaneal fractures, open fractures, and a follow-up period
