Abstract:
Objective To observe and analyze therapeutic effects of internal fixation reconstruction with titanium plate for intra articular calcaneus fractures. Methods 48 patients (56 feet) with calcaneal fracture were treated with reconstruction titanium plate, under the monitoring of C shape X ray. The therapeutic effects were evaluated according to the Maryland foot score system. Results 48 patients were followed up for an average of 18 months. 36 feet achieved excellent results, 14 good, and 6 fair. The good and excellent rate was 89.3%. The length, height, width and Bhler angle of the calcaneus were well improved. Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation with reconstruction titanium plate is a reliable measure to treat intra articular calcaneus fractures, as long as the surgeon has a good command of the anatomic structure of calcaneus, indication and right timing for the operation.
