Surgical approaches for the treatment of open calcaneal fractures are frequently associated with skin complications. The development of minimally invasive techniques could limit them. We performed a retrospective study of 12 patients with displaced and closed calcaneal articular fracture treated with locked percutaneous calcaneal nailing using a Calcanail® nail. The short-term functional and radiographic results of percutaneous nailing of calcaneal fractures are satisfactory, with an average AOFAS score of 82 and an average Böhler angle of 0.7 ° preoperatively at 32 ° postoperatively. -operative
