An alternative technique for transosseous calcaneal pinning in external fixation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors describe a technique in which two 5.5-mm pins are inserted from the posterior aspect of the calcaneus and advanced anteriorly on a slightly convergent vector. The 2 points of fixation, with a 5/8 ring, provide a "steering wheel" effect allowing for leverage and control of the hindfoot and ankle. The construct also allows for offloading of the posterior calcaneus.

Case Report : Intra - articular calcaneal fracture reduced with minimal open reduction , external fixation with the use of balloon kyphoplasty technique
Calcaneal fractures may be difficult to reduce and there are many possible complications of the standard open reduction and internal fixation. This case study illustrates use of the Ilizarov method combined with a balloon kyphoplasty technique as an additional approach to reduce these complex fractures with a minimal incision. This innovative technique not only minimize risk of infection, but a...
متن کاملTendon-bone interface motion in transosseous suture and suture anchor rotator cuff repair techniques.
BACKGROUND Although many studies involving rotator cuff repair fixation have focused on ultimate fixation strength and ability to restore the tendon's native footprint, no studies have characterized the stability of the repair with regard to motion between the tendon and repair site footprint. HYPOTHESIS Suture anchor fixation for rotator cuff repair has greater interface motion between tendo...
متن کاملMonoaxial external fixation of the calcaneus: An anatomical study assessing the safety of monoaxial pin insertion.
The use of external fixation for intra-articular calcaneal fractures is increasing in popularity. Studies have shown fine wire and monoaxial external fixation to be a viable surgical alternative to more invasive methods of open reduction and internal fixation of the calcaneus. However, there is an absence of literature that quantifies the risk of pin insertion for monoaxial fixation. This study...

متن کاملTemporary external fixation facilitates open reduction and internal fixation of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
Management of intra-articular calcaneal fractures during the past years has ranged from the nihilistic approach of no active treatment to open reduction and internal fixation or even to early subtalar arthrodesis. Operative treatment presents the surgeon with many challenges. Good results require atraumatic exposure, anatomic reduction, rigid fixation and early mobilization. We describe the use...
