Treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures with or without bone grafts: A systematic review of the literature.

CONCLUSIONS: The operative treatment of intraarticular calcaneal fractures with bone grafts could restore the Böhler's angle better and the patients could return to full weight bearing earlier. However, the functional and efficacy outcomes appear to be similar between the two treatment groups. There were more joint depression and comminuted fractures in the bone graft group, and the mean followup time was shorter. Large sample comparative studies are still needed.
