【 摘 要 】

Category:Hindfoot, TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:The management of calcaneal fractures is a source of debate among orthopaedic surgeons due to a high risk of complications. The goals of surgical fixation are to restore the alignment and articular surface of the calcaneus. A popular fixation technique is open fixation as it provides the best visualization of fracture fragments. However, the extensive soft tissue disruption often associated with a larger incision places patients at risk for wound healing complications and infection. Due to the high risk of complications, non-operative treatment is often recommended. However, malunion of calcaneus fracture with non- operative treatment leads to predictable complications as well. Due to wound concerns, fixation using a mini-incision technique has emerged as an option for restoring calcaneal anatomy while minimizing wound complications.Methods:From July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015, 22 patients underwent surgical fixation of 25 displaced calcaneal fractures throu...
