Abstract
Because of loss of function and chronic pain total calcanectomy is a serious impairment for the patient. There are few reports concerning replacement procedures using ribs [Brenner P, Zwipp H, Rammelt S. Vascularized double barrel ribs combined with free serratus anterior muscle transfer for homologous restoration of the hindfoot after calcanectomy. J Trauma-Injury Infect Crit Care 2000;49(2):331-5; Lin CH, Wei FC, Levin LS, Su JI. Free composite serratus anterior and rib flaps for tibial composite bone and soft-tissue defect.

Ann Plast Surg 1988;20:167-72] or homologeous bone graft [Mankin HJ, Gebhardt MC, Jennings LC, Springfield DS, Tomford WW. Long-term results of allograft replacement in the management of bone tumors.
