Objective To observe the effect and its factors of open reduction and internal fixation of calcaneal fractures,and the influencing factors.Methods A retrospective analysis of 116 cases of calcaneal fracture were made.All patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation,the effect was evaluated by Maryland foot score.The relation of the data before surgery (sex,age,cause of injury,associated injuries,injury and surgery,frac-tures sanders classification,opening and closing,diabetes,smoking history)and the effect,the surgical data (graft case,fixation,fractures,postoperative Bohler angle)and the effect were analyzed.The independent factors of the effect were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.Results 116 patients with calcaneal fracture had been followed up for 6 -12 months,the excellent -good rate of Maryland foot score was 74.14%.Univariate analysis showed that different types of fractures,open and closed,with or without diabetes,with or without a history of smoking,different fixation methods,different fractures,patients with different postoperative Bohler angle foot function excellent rate differences were statistically significant (χ2 =17.194,4.077,6.766,9.116,5.136,6.919,4.458,all P <0.05).Logistic regres-sion analysis showed that the type of fracture,fixation,fractures,postoperative Bohler angle were independent risk factors for foot function excellent rate(OR =0.052,0.048,0.056,0.386,all P <0.05).Conclusion It has exact efficacy for open reduction and internal fixation with calcaneal fractures,the fracture type,fixation,fractures,postoper-ative Bohler angle are independent risk factors for affecting the calcaneal fractures patients.Perioperative treatment should take appropriate measures to avoid adverse factors affecting the efficacy of improved clinical efficacy.
