Subtular arthrodesis is the only surgical procedure used in case of post-traumatic arthrosis following fractures of the os calcis. The author proposes an original technique, which allows restoring the mobility of the hindfoot and suppressing pain: the subtalar prosthesis is described, as well as the surgical procedure. The short-term results for a series of five patients are very satisfactory.
