- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To study the biomechanical and anatomical characteristics in patients treated<br /><br>surgically after traumatic calcaneal fracture, and compare these data to<br /><br>healthy subjects, patients after arthrodesis of the subtalar and talar joint.<br /><br>- Is there a relation between the postoperative functional subtalar axis and<br /><br>the clinical functional outcome?<br /><br>- Is there a relation between the functional subtalar axis and the anatomical<br /><br>subtalar axis?</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To investigate whether the changes in biomechanical and anatomical<br /><br>characteristics determines the post-operative outcome and patient satisfaction.<br /><br><br /><br>Research questions:<br /><br>- What are the changes in biomechanics after surgery for calcaneal fractures if<br /><br>compared to healthy persons?<br /><br>- What are the changes in biomechanics after calcaneus surgery if compared to<br /><br>patients after arthrodesis of the subtalar joint?<br /><br>- What are the changes in biomechanics after calcaneus surgery if compared to<br /><br>patients after arthrodesis of the talar joint?<br /><br>- Does patient satisfaction after operative treatment correlate with changes in<br /><br>biomechanics?<br /><br>- Have the changes in biomechanics and difference in treatment an effect in the<br /><br>patient satisfaction?</p><br>
