Abstract:
Objective To approach the treatment of open reduction and internal fixation with titanium plate of anatomic type was applied for calcaneua fracture involving talocalcaneal joint. Methods Twenty-eight patients (36 feet) were performed with open reduction and internal fixation with titanium plate of anatomic type from April 2004 to November 2007. The Bohler angle, the Gissane angle and the length, breadth, height of calcaneus were compared before and after operation. Results The patients were followed up in an average period of 20 months. All the patients were healed and their arches became normal. The average data of Bohler angle was 19.89°±1.28° after operation while -6.23°±0.35°before operation. The average height of calcaneus was (42.80±2.49) mm after operation while (36.10±2.38) mm before operation. Conclusions The treatment of open reduction and internal fixation with titanium plate of anatomic type is a kind of good method for calcaneus fracture involving talocalcaneal joint. It can not only resume the Bolder angle and the Gissane angle,but also resume the, breadth, height of calcaneus. As a result, it can achieve anatomical reduction and patients can do exercises as soon as possible.
