Background: We present the results of the surgical treatment of calcaneal fracture using the technique of closed reduction and stabilization with two pins.

Method: 18 calcaneal fractures have been examined in 18 patients, 14 male and 4 female. Some fractures were tongue type and the rest were joint depression type (C,D,E according to Essex- Lopresti classification).

Mean follow up time was 2 years. With general or epidural anesthesia and image intensifier we operated using the first pin to reduce closely and stabilize the bone and afterwards we put a second one to secure the result.

Result: 10 patients have pain after a lot of work(good), 7 patients have pain after a walk (moderate), 1 patient have pain during the bed resting (bad).

Conclusions: The treatment of the calcaneal fracture is a very difficult job. The above mentioned method of surgical technique is looking to have good results in treatment of calcaneal fracture with the specific characteristics.
