    Notes: Abstract  Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare disease which, together with hemolytic uremic syndrome, is subsumed under thrombotic microangiopathy. After stem cell transplantation (SCT), this syndrome represents a possibly fatal complication with a higher incidence in allogeneic SCT than in autologous SCT. Although plasmapheresis offers an encouraging treatment modality in classic TTP, this seems less effective in bone marrow transplant-associated microangiopathy. This is probably due to a different etiology. We present a case of transplant-associated TTP with a fatal outcome despite multiple courses of plasmapheresis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Surgical treatment of calcaneal fractures is demanding due to the poor musculocutaneous coverage. Infection with osteitis is a severe complication with open fractures. The appearance of osteitis requires aggressive surgical treatmentincluding amputation in case of persistence, leading to considerable invalidism. We report the case of an 37-year-old mason with an grade III open calcaneal fracture caused by a fall. Osteitis appeared after primary osteosynthesis with open reduction and eventually – after several revisions – required a calcanectomy. By preservation of the forefoot and midfoot and thanks to sufficient orthesis treatment the patient was able to return to his profession after eigth months.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die operative Behandlung von Fersenbeinfrakturen ist anspruchsvoll, nicht zuletzt aufgrund des dünnen Weichteilmantels. Bei offenen Frakturen mit unfallbedingten Knochennekrosen stellt die Infektion eine schwere Komplikation dar. Das Auftreten einer Osteitis ist gefürchtet und macht ein konsequentes operatives Regime erforderlich. Persistiert die Infektion, wird nicht selten die Amputation der Gliedmaß mit konsekutiver erheblicher Invalidisierung erforderlich. Wir stellen den Fall eines 37-jährigen Maurers nach Absturztrauma mit einer drittgradig offenen Fersenbeintrümmerfraktur vor, bei dem eine Infektion nach primärer offener Osteosynthese zahlreiche Revisionen und schließlich die Fersenbeinresektion erforderlich machte. Unter Erhalt des Vor- und Mittelfußes und Dank einer suffizienten orthopädischen Schuhversorgung konnte der Patient nach 8 Monaten in seinen Beruf als Maurer zurückkehren.
