Abstract

Summary. Two cases of post-traumatic defects of the calcaneus resulting from mine-blast injury (stepping on a mine) are presented. After appropriate sequential treatment, the calcaneal defects were replaced with an allogeneic femoral head. The follow-up periods were 20 and 6 months, respectively. A review of the literature is presented.
