Abstract:
With deepening understanding of surgical treatment of calcaneal fractures,clinical applications of external fixators have drawn more attention.At present,however,there has been no systematic review of such applications for intra-articular calcaneal fracture.This review collected all the recent reports available on such applications to analyze the use and clinical indications of different external fixators.Moreover,on the basis of our own clinical experience,we further proposed a novel treatment protocol for intraarticular calcaneal fractures which integrates internal and external fixation and minimally invasive techniques.
