The Level 2 study by Czisy et al is a review of a randomized trial database that analyzed the prospective clinical outcome of 45 patients who failed closed or open treatment of a displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. The cohort underwent a subtalar fusion by distraction bone-block arthrodesis for subtalar arthritis. They found that male worker's compensation patients who participate in heavy labor work with a fracture pattern with Böhler angle less than 0 degrees were the most likely to undergo a subtalar fusion. The meta-analysis by Randle et al reviewed 6 clinical studies comparing the results of operative vs. conservative management of calcaneal fracture studies. They found a trend for nonoperatively treated patients to have a higher risk of experiencing severe foot pain than did operatively treated patients, however they could not draw any definitive conclusions guiding treatment.
