External fixation for displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum.
A minimally-invasive procedure using percutaneous reduction and external fixation can be carried out for Sanders' type II, III and IV fractures of the os calcis. We have treated 54 consecutive closed displaced fractures of the calcaneum involving the articular surface in 52 patients with the Orthofix Calcaneal Mini-Fixator. Patients were followed up for a mean of 49 months (27 to 94) and assess...
متن کاملTreatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures with closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation.
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus is a standard procedure in many institutions. To avoid soft-tissue complications, several minimally invasive procedures have recently been introduced. The aim of this study was to assess the percutaneous treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures with use of one of these techniques. METHODS A...
متن کاملLimited open reduction and internal fixation of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum.
The extended lateral L-shaped approach for the treatment of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum may be complicated by wound infection, haematoma, dehiscence and injury to the sural nerve. In an effort to reduce the risk of problems with wound healing a technique was developed that combined open reduction and fixation of the joint fragments and of the anterior process with percu...
متن کاملInternal Fixation of the Intra Articular Fractures of Calcaneum without Bone Grafting
The management of calcaneal fractures range from closed treatment to open reduction internal fixation with different fixation. The radiological and functional outcome of 15 closed intra-articular Sander’s type II and III calcaneal fractures fixed with locking calcaneal plate by extensile lateral approach was done. Properly selected cases with proper timing of surgery accepted results in both cl...
متن کاملMinimally-invasive treatment of intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum.
We describe the results of 287 intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum in 247 patients treated by minimally-invasive reduction and K-wire fixation between 1994 and 2003. There were 210 men (85%) and 37 women (15%). The most common cause of injury was a fall from a height in 237 patients (96%). Fracture classification was based on the method described by Sanders and Essex-Lopresti. All patien...
