Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical effects of sinus tarsi approach with minimal-inva-sive percutaneous screw fixation of calcaneal fractures. Methods From February 2014 to July 2015,28 ca-ses of calcaneal fracture patients(Sanders Ⅰ ~ Ⅲ)were treated with minimal-invasive percutaneous screw fixation via sinus tarsi approach in our department. There were 18 males and 10 females with age ranging from 16 to 68 years(mean,32 years). According to the classification of Sanders,six cases were classified as Type I,twelve as Type Ⅱ,and ten as Type Ⅲ. The Bohler angle and Gissane angle were compared be-fore and after operation. Clinical results were evaluated with the Maryland foot scoring system. Results All the patients were followed up for 14 to 20 months(mean,15. 5 months). Anatomic or almost anatomic reduction was achieved in all patients according to the results of postoperative images. All fractures healed,and the healing time ranged from 4 to 7 months(average,5. 3 months). There was no wound infec-tion,necrosis or bone nonunion. According to the Maryland foot scoring system,16 cases were defined as excellent,10 cases as good,and 2 cases as poor. The good and excellent rate was 92. 8% . Conclusion For calcaneal fractures,sinus tarsi approach with minimal-invasive percutaneous screw fixation has the ad-vantages of small trauma,safe operation,limited complication,and stable fixation,which is a satisfactory clinical treatment.
