BACKGROUND According to the anatomic characteristics of the calcaneus and the sinus tarsi approach, we designed a combined plate. The goal of this study was to retrospectively assess the functional outcomes and complications of treatment with our self-designed plate. METHODS From March 2014 to October 2015, 18 patients with closed calcaneal fractures (14 Sanders type II and 4 type III) were t...

The aim of our meta-analysis was to compare outcomes for two surgical treatments of calcaneal fractures, percutaneous reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires (PRFK) and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), with the intent of evaluating the quality of evidence to inform practice. Search of MEDLINE, Cochrane and CNKI databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing PRKF...

PURPOSE To compare the efficacy of percutaneous poking reduction and fixationwith open reduction and fixation in the treatment of displaced calcaneal fractures. METHODS Reports of studies using case-controlled trials (CCT) to compare the percutaneous poking reduction and fixation with the open reduction and fixation in the management of calcaneal fractures were retrieved from the Cochrane Lib...

BACKGROUND Calcaneal fractures are the most common fractures of the tarsal bones. The majority of these fractures are produced by axial force like a fall from a height. Controversy still exists on the best line of treatment. This study is to evaluate the results of trans-osseous limited lateral approach as a minimally invasive surgical treatment of the displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractu...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of extensile lateral (EL) approach sinus tarsi (ST) in calcaneal fracture surgery.
 Materyal-Metod: A total 40 patients with Sanders II-III fractures, including 22 EL group 18 ST group, were included retrospective study. evaluation, changes calcaneus Bohler Gissane angle, length, width, height measured duri...

Calcaneus is the largest tarsal bone to withstand daily stresses of weight-bearing. The calcaneal fracture most common type in fractures. After a suspected, plain radiographs should be taken first. Bohler's Angle (BA) and Critical Gissane (CAG), measured by four anatomic landmarks lateral foot radiograph, can guide diagnosis facilitate operative recovery fractured calcaneus. This study aims dev...
