Brief Summary

To include patient after traumatic (calcaneal) fractures for this study. They can be included to analyze gait with the OFM foot model, a non invasis model. Patient will be invited to the movement laboratory of the MUMC. Markers will be detached with dubble sided tape on anatomical points. After that gait will be recorded with infra-red camera's and an animation model will be formed. With this model further analysis can be made to range of motion between different segement of the foot. These results will be compared with patient with an arthrodesis, healthy subjects, futher questionnaires, physical examination and radiographic findings will be correlated.

Conditions

Fractures; Trauma; Surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Gait in Patients After foot and ankle fractures range of motion

  To measure range of motion in the foot and ankle with the OFM (range of motion in degrees) and compare between patients with foot and ankle fractures after surgery and healthy subjects range of motion between forefoot and hindfoot, hindfoot and tibia in 3 planes representing flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, inversion/eversion

  6 months after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• To find correlations between gait, questionnaires, radiographic findings and physical examination

  6 months after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Fratures

patient with foot and ankle fractures and surgery with ORIF

Procedure: ORIF
