Published data suggest that soft tissue involvement plays a role in the aetiology of residual symptoms following fractures of the os calcis. This randomized study involved 23 patients with 24 intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum. It was designed to evaluate the efficacy of a pneumatic plantar impulse device in reducing pain, associated morbidity and convalescent time. The results show a significant improvement in subtalar range of movement in the pumped group at 3 months, with pain significantly reduced at 6 months and at 1 year. There was no difference in weight bearing or walking distance between the pumped and control groups. The time from date of injury to return to work was significantly reduced in the pumped group by an average of 3 months.
已发表的数据表明，软组织受累在跟骨骨折后残留症状的病因中起作用。这项随机研究纳入了23例患者的24例跟骨关节内骨折。其旨在评估一种气动足底冲击装置在减轻疼痛、相关发病率和康复时间方面的疗效。结果显示，充气组在3个月时距下关节活动范围有显著改善，在6个月和1年时疼痛显著减轻。充气组和对照组在负重或行走距离方面没有差异。充气组从受伤到恢复工作的时间平均显著缩短了3个月。
