Case Report : Intra - articular calcaneal fracture reduced with minimal open reduction , external fixation with the use of balloon kyphoplasty technique
نویسنده
چکیده
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 also offers an alternative approach to patients who would otherwise be poor candidates for the standard calcaneal fracture requiring an open reduction internal fixation.

Comparative study on three surgical techniques for intra-articular calcaneal fractures: open reduction with internal fixation using a plate, external fixation and minimally invasive surgery☆
OBJECTIVE To evaluate, compare and identify the surgical technique with best results for treating intra-articular calcaneal fractures, taking into account postoperative outcomes, complications and scoring in the Aofas questionnaire. METHODS This was a retrospective study on 54 patients with fractures of the calcaneus who underwent surgery between 2002 and 2012 by means of the following techni...

INTRODUCTION For decades, open reduction and internal fixation was the surgical treatment of choice for intra-articular calcaneal fractures, either with or without any augmentation. Delayed weight bearing and wound-related complications are still unresolved. Aiming at a minimally invasive therapy with accelerated mobilization, we applied closed reduction and balloon-assisted augmentation with c...
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...

INTRODUCTION High energy tibial plateau fractures along with calcaneal fractures individually produce several challenges for the orthopaedic surgeon. The principles of bony reconstruction include anatomic reduction and rigid internal fixation of intra-articular fractures and accurate restoration of the coronal, sagittal and transverse mechanical axes. Due to the tenuous nature of the soft tissu...
متن کاملPediatric and Adolescent Intra-Articular Fractures of the Calcaneus
Calcaneal fractures in childhood are very rare, whereas particularly intra-articular displaced fractures are not typical in skeletally immature children. Various techniques of osteosynthesis have been described. This study aimed to determine clinical and radiological outcome after surgical treatment of intraarticular calcaneal fractures. Fourteen intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus were i...
