Abstract
Heel pain after a fractured calcaneus is frequently due to lateral impingement. This can be worsened by triple arthrodesis, which diminishes the height of the talus and calcaneus. Resection of the distal fibula can relieve such persistent heel pain and should be considered before arthrodesis.Keywords
