Intra‐articular calcaneal fractures pose a substantial orthopaedic issue because of its intricate nature and the crucial function of the calcaneus in foot mechanics. These fractures, known as intra‐articular fractures of the calcaneus, typically happen due to severe trauma, such as falls from significant heights or motor vehicle collisions. The complex structure of the calcaneus and its connection to the subtalar joint provide significant difficulties in treating these fractures. Complications arising from the impact on the subtalar joint commonly include persistent pain, joint stiffness and post‐traumatic arthritis. These issues can significantly impair a patient's mobility and overall quality of life. It is crucial to address intra‐articular calcaneal fractures well in order to recover function and prevent long‐term impairment.
