Brief Summary:
Aim:
* Determine if external fixation decreases soft tissue complications compared to splinting.
* Determine if external fixation decreases time to definitive surgical stabilization and improves final fixation compared to splinting.
* Determine if external fixation improves functional outcomes as evaluated by validated functional scoring systems.
Hypothesis:
* External fixation improves definitive fixation and functional outcomes of acute calcaneal fractures with decreased complication rates compared to splinting
