Objective  To review the progress of treatments for old calcaneal fractures. Methods  The related literature of treatments for old calcaneal fractures were reviewed and analyzed from the aspects such as the pathoanatomy, classifications, and surgical treatments. Results  Old calcaneal fractures are common in clinical, the anatomical changes are very complicated. In addition to classical open reduction and internal fixation, arthrodesis, and osteotomy, techniques of minimally invasive operation, external fixator, and three-dimensional printing are more and more widely applied, treatments for old calcaneal fractures nonunion have also received increasing attention. Conclusion  Although the perfect strategy for treating old calcaneal fractures has not yet been developed, great progress has been achieved recently, the personalized therapy need to be further studied, and therapies for the early stage old calcaneal fractures and old calcaneal fractures nonunion need to be further explored.
