Abstract:
Objective To discuss the short-term efficacy and safety of primary percutaneous reduction combined with robotic-assisted screw placement for the treatment of Sanders type Ⅲ and Ⅳ calcaneal frac-tures.Methods A total of 52 patients(52 feet)with Sanders type Ⅲ and Ⅳ calcaneal fractures admitted to this hospital from August 2022 to October 2024 were selected as the study subjects.33 patients were treated with robot assisted screw placement(the observation group),including 23 cases of Sanders type Ⅲ patients(4 cases of AC type,16 cases of AB type,3 cases of BC type)and 10 cases of Sanders type Ⅳ patients;19 patients underwent manual screw placement under C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy(the control group),including 14 cases of Sanders type Ⅲ(5 cases of AC type,9 cases of AB type)and 5 cases of Sanders Ⅳ type.The B?hler angle,Gissane angle,calcaneal height,calcaneal width,and calcaneal length were compared between the two groups at 3 and 12 months after surgery.The differences in the time from injury to surgery,intraoperative blood loss,number of intraoperative fluoroscopies,total incision length,operation time,number of screws inserted,num-ber of punctures,hospital stay,fracture healing time,and proportion of tarsal sinus incision-assisted reduction between the two groups were evaluated and compared.The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle and hindfoot function score,excellent rate of function and visual analog scale(VAS)pain score after surgery were also compared,and the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups were compared to evaluate safety.Results Both groups of patients were followed up for more than 12 months after surgery.At 3 and 12 months postoperatively,B?hler's angle,Gissane's angle,calcaneal length,calcaneal height,and calcaneal width in both groups showed significant improvements compared to preopera-tive measurements,but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The intraoperative blooding loss,number of intraoperative fluoroscopies,operation time,and number of punc-tures in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statisti-cally significant(P<0.05);There was no statistically significant difference in the time from injury to surger-y,total incision length,number of screws inserted,hospital stay,fracture healing time,proportion of tarsal si-nus incision-assisted reduction,and excellent rate of function between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).The AOFAS ankle and hindfoot function score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group at 3 months after surgery,and the VAS pain scores in the early postoperative period was lower than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of complications such as lower ankle pain,traumatic arthritis,and plantar pain in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Com-pared with manual screw placement,primary percutaneous reduction combined with robotic-assisted screw placement for the treatment of Sanders type Ⅲ and Ⅳ calcaneal fractures is more effective,safe,precise,mini-mally invasive and efficient,with less intraoperative bleeding and lower incidence of complications.
