Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of internal fixation of plates on displaced intra-articular fracture of the calcaneus. Methods 27 patients with calcaneal fracture and treated surgically with open reduction and internal fixation were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the cases are closed fracture. According to the Sanders classification, 18 cases were type 2 calcaneal fractures, and 9 were type 3. 6 cases (22.2%) showed wound-healing problems. The average Bohler's angle before and after surgery was 7.5° and 27.54° respectively. 20 patients were followed up for average 16.8 months, and all showed excellent walking ability and normal gait, and no shoe wear complaints. Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation can guarantee the anatomic reduction of displaced calcaneal fractures, and the outcomes are satisfied.
