Abstract
We describe our early experiences using the new AO plate for open redu ction and internal fixation of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum. An overview of our operative technique based on 22 case s is given. The relative merits of the new plate are discussed and we conclude that the plate is a useful device for dealing with this compl ex injury.
