During a 25-year period, 24995 total patients were treated in the Unfallkrankenhaus in Meidling including: 3502 fractures of the os calcis, 919 dislocation fractures of the ossea tarsalea, 9675 fractures and dislocation fractures of the os metatarsalia, and 10899 fractures of the halux. For example, a walking cast was used for undislocated fractures; for unstable dislocated fractures, reduction and fixation with percutaneous wires were used. The same treatment was applied to fractures of the os calcis, with special consideration paid to circulation and age (limitation of 50 years). The treatment results are given for 197 fractures of the os calcis fixated by wire and for 32 Lisfranc dislocation fractures.
