Fracture mapping of complex intra-articular calcaneal fractures

Osteosynthesis for intra-articular calcaneal fractures.

PURPOSE To correlate treatment results of intra-articular calcaneal fractures with their computed tomographic (CT) classification. METHODS 36 men and 4 women with 48 intra-articular calcaneal fractures (8 bilateral) underwent open reduction and internal fixation with bone grafting via an extensile lateral approach. Based on 2-dimensional CT scans, the fractures were categorised using the Sand...

Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture treatment.

Comparison of the efficacy of surgical and non-surgical treatments in intra-articular calcaneal fracture

Calcaneal fracture accounts for 2% of all fractures and is the most common tarsal fracture. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to determine and compare the surgical and non-surgical treatments in adult patients with calcaneal fractures in terms of outcomes, patients’ satisfaction level, and complications. This clinical trial was conducted on 63 patients with intraarticular fracture...

Clinical outcome scoring of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.

UNLABELLED Outcome reporting of intra-articular calcaneal fractures is inconsistent. This study aimed to identify the most cited outcome scores in the literature and to analyze their reliability and validity. A systematic literature search identified 34 different outcome scores. The most cited outcome score was the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score, followed by ...

Operative versus nonoperative treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures

BACKGROUND The relative efficacy of operative and nonoperative treatments for the displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF) remains uncertain. OBJECT We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness of operative and nonoperative treatments in treating patients with DIACF. METHODS Databases including Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, CBM, CNKI, and Google Scholar were s...
