Depressed calcaneal fractures occur most often in middle aged male workers. This explains the economic importance of these fractures. Percutaneous fixation is safe and can be applied in depressed intraarticular calcaneal fractures in which soft-tissue compromise is present. Proper evaluation of joint ROM is essential to successful patient management. Success in these evaluations is based on use of accepted measuring methods. Assessment patient improvement is based on increases in range of joint motion. This study was done by clinical assessment of range of motion of subtalar joint with a goniometer and a simple plain radiographic assessment providing a simple and accurate radiographic marker of calcaneal tilts.
