Complications
Sometimes it happens that the immobilization of the foot during the healing process causes muscle atrophy. In addition, premature osteoarthritis of the bone can occur after a fracture. In the case of arthrosis, cartilage atrophy occurs so that bone rubs against bone.
This happens when the healing process causes the joint surfaces to become uneven. If an exact reconstruction is not possible, this can cause severe pain, especially if the heel bone is affected. Sometimes a stiffening of the affected joints is then necessary to alleviate these complaints.
