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 کاملOsteosynthesis of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum: a long-term review of 47 cases.
We carried out a retrospective review of 47 intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum treated by open reduction and internal fixation in 45 patients by a single surgeon between 1993 and 2001. The fractures were evaluated before operation by plain radiographs and a CT scan using Sanders' classification. Osteosynthesis involved a lateral approach and the use of the AO calcaneal plate. The mean f...

METHODS The retrospective non-randomised comparative study using. purposive non-probability convenient sampling was conducted at the Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, and comprised treatment records from March 2010 to October 2013 of patients who had ...
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 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...
