Abstract:
Objective To evaluate development of postoperative complications of calcanens fracture by employing Evidence-based medicine method so as to provide basis for clinical treatment strategy. Methods Eligible literatures on surgical treatment of calcalneus fractures from 1989 to 2008 were retrieved through Medline, Cochrane Database, Embase Database and Science Direct. The retrieved literatures were organized and analyzed by using SPSS14.0 and RevMan5 software. Results A total of 1823 literatures on calcaneus fractures were originally obtained based on preset retrieval conditions. With screening and evaluation, 29 clinical reports involving 2 661 patients (2 800 feet) met the criteria of meta-analysis. The results of recta-analysis indicated that the incidence rates (IR) and confidence interval (CI) of the complications that included infection (IC =8.6%, 95% CI =7.53-9.61), wound-edge necrosis (IC =2.6%, 95% CI =2.05-3.24), subtalar arthritis (IC =2.0%, 95% CI = 1.42-2.44), peroneal tendinitis (IC = 1.3% , 95% CI = 0.84-1.66), vascular or nerve damage (IC = 1.2%, 95% CI 0.81-1.62), osteotitis of calcaneus (IC = 1.0% ,95% CI 0. 60-1.33), non-union (IC =0.2%, 95% CI = 0. 04-0. 39) , malreduetion (IC = 0. 1%) and painful implants (IC = 0.7% , 95% CI = 0.4-1.03) respectively. Conclusion The postoperative complications of calcaneus fracture are common clinical problems, to which professional care without delay can attain satisfactory outcome.
