Minimally invasive calcaneal osteotomy

Minimally invasive (sinus tarsi) approach for calcaneal fractures

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...

Z Cut Calcaneal Osteotomy

Although excellent for correction of deformity, the triple arthrodesis can have complications associated with wound healing and lateral column malunion/nonunion. The greater the deformity, the more common these adverse events may occur. By utilizing a single medial incision to fuse only the talonavicular and subtalar joint, the Medial Double technique minimizes several soft tissue complications...

A new minimally invasive transsartorial approach for periacetabular osteotomy.

BACKGROUND A new minimally invasive transsartorial approach for the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy was developed. We investigated whether this technique was safe and successful with regard to minimizing tissue trauma and, more importantly, whether it was possible to obtain optimal reorientation of the acetabulum. METHODS Our experience with this approach was retrospectively assessed by mean...

Management of intraarticular calcaneal fractures by minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach-early results.

ABSTRACT The operative treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures has been a controversial topic. Soft tissue conditions and concomitant disease must be considered in these patients. The minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach is a valid therapeutic solution that guarantees stability, anatomic reduction of the fracture and soft tissue preservation. Twenty-five closed calcaneal fr...
