“…However, the lateral impingement symptoms were more profound in the PR group based on the experimental results. In Feng et al (2016) 26 , the overall postoperative complication rates of the two surgical methods (percutaneous cannulated screw fixation vs calcium sulfate cement grafting and sinus tarsi approach) were 7.1% vs 28.9% and the difference was statistically significant. These results are similar to those of our study.…”

Objective To assess the long‐term outcomes after percutaneous reduction (PR) and screw fixation versus plate fixation via the sinus tarsi approach (STA) for displaced intra‐articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF). Methods This retrospective study included a total of 150 patients (June 2008–August 2011), comprising 85 men and 65 women (mean age, 38.4 years), who were assigned to the PR group or the STA group. The inclusion criteria were DIACF (>2 mm) including Sanders type II and III, closed fracture, unilateral fracture, no history of smoking or no smoking during hospitalization and 3 months after surgery, and follow‐up time not less than 8 years. The exclusion criteria were clear surgical contraindications (severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases), local or systemic infection symptoms, diagnosis with diabetes or lower extremity vascular disease, and Sanders type IV or open fractures. Outcomes were assessed by means of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot scores, radiographic images, and postoperative complications. Results The mean follow‐up period was 8.7 years (range, 8.0–10.0 years). The AOFAS scores in the PR group during the follow‐up period were 54.2 ± 5.1, 85.8 ± 4.0, 88.1 ± 3.8, 87.9 ± 3.6, 87.8 ± 3.9, 86.9 ± 3.9, respectively, and in the STA group were 55.0 ± 5.6, 84.5 ± 5.2, 87.1 ± 3.8, 86.9 ± 3.8, 87.7 ± 3.3, and 87.6 ± 2.8, respectively. There was no significant difference in AOFAS scores, Bohler's angle, Gissane's angle, calcaneal length, and height between the two groups (P > 0.05). The good to excellent rate of the PR group (80.8%) was less than that of the STA group (91.7%) (P = 0.055). For Sanders III fractures, the good to excellent rate of the PR group (33.3%) was less than that of the STA group (76.9%) (P = 0.029). For calcaneal width recovery, the STA group performed better than the PR group (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the PR group (12.8%) was lower than that in the STA group (27.8%) (P = 0.026), of which the incidence of wound complications was 3.8% in the PR group and 13.9% in the STA group (P = 0.041). In addition, there was no significant difference in other postoperative complications such as sural nerve injury, peroneus longus and brevis muscle injury, calcaneal valgus symptoms, lateral impingement symptoms, and subtalar arthritis (P > 0.05). Conclusion From the 8–10‐year follow‐up results of PR and STA as surgical procedures for the treatment of DIACF, it was found that there was no significant difference in the overall efficacy between them. STA was found to be superior to the PR in terms of the recovery of calcaneal width, providing more stable fixation for Sanders III fractures. PR was found to be more effective in reducing wound complications.

“…On the other hand, in sinus tarsi group, calcaneus width was recovered better and more accurate reduction of the joint surface was possible. 38 In conclusion, our results show that treating calcaneus fractures following MIS method using percutaneous screwing and cement injection may yield functional, clinical and radiographic results comparable to ORIF method, but the occurrence of ulcer complications and of the problems associated to shoes decreased significantly.…”

Surgical management of calcaneal fractures has various complications. In recent years, minimally invasive surgeries have been utilized for a wide range of surgical procedures on different body parts significantly declining complications. This paper compares surgical outcomes of calcaneal fracture management between the open reduction and internal fixation technique (ORIF) and the MIS technique. In this randomized clinical trial forty patients with calcaneus fractures were randomly assigned to two equal groups; ORIF group and MIS group. Patients were followed for 1 year post-operatively. Gissane and Bohler’s angles, AOFAS questionnaire, pain intensity, ability to conduct previous activities and various complications like wound healing complications and irritation with shoe wear were assessed in the final post-operative visit. Eventually data obtained from the two groups were compared. All patients obtained fracture union. Bohler’s and Gissane angles significantly increased and decreased, respectively, after the operation in both groups (p˂0.05), however, no significant difference was found between the two research groups. AOFAS scores and pain intensity was similar in both groups, however, surgical duration in the MIS group was significantly less than the ORIF group (P=0.021). Only one patient from the ORIF group was not able to resume his previous occupation. 12 patients from the ORIF group and five patients from the MIS group experienced irritation from shoe wear (p=0.025). In the ORIF group, 4 patients suffered from wound healing complications, however, none of the patients of the MIS group had wound complications (p=0.035). In conclusion, based on the results, it can be concluded that the MIS technique demonstrated better functional and radiographic outcomes as well as a more favorable complication profile, thus, it is recommended for the management of calcaneus fractures.

“…However, this method has certain disadvantages. Firstly, the procedure requires extensive intraoperative fluoroscopy to observe the fracture and repeatedly examine internal fixation at each step of the operation [10]. Secondly, fracture recovery and internal fixation are frequently found to be less than ideal at follow-up, because the success of the procedure depends on the surgeon's experience [11].…”

Background: Traditional methods for minimally invasive internal fixation (MIIF) of calcaneal fractures require extensive intraoperative fluoroscopy, and fracture recovery is usually not ideal. We developed a new surgical procedure using digital surgical simulation and constructed a patient-specific instrument (PSI) for calcaneal fracture that we used during the operation. This study investigated whether PSI-assisted MIIF of calcaneal fracture enables rapid and accurate execution of the preoperative plan. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with Sanders type III or IV fresh calcaneal fractures who had undergone PSIassisted MIIF at our hospital from January 2016 to December 2018. We analyzed perioperative data including intraoperative fluoroscopy time, concurrence of internal fixation actual usage (IFAU) with the preoperative plan, surgery time, and complications. We also compared pre-and postoperative actual measurements from X-ray radiographs and computed tomography images including Böhler, Gissane, and calcaneus valgus angles; subtalar joint width; and calcaneal volume overlap ratio with the preoperative design. All patients had been followed up and their American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) score was available. Results: Mean intraoperative fluoroscopy time was 3.95 ± 1.78 h; IFAU in 16 patients (16 ft) was the same as the preoperative plan; mean surgery time was 28.16 ± 10.70 min; and none of the patients developed complications. Böhler, Gissane, and calcaneus valgus angles and subtalar joint width did not differ between pre-and postoperative plans; however, the actual preoperative values of each of these parameters differed significantly from those measured postoperatively. The calcaneal volume overlap ratio with the preoperative design was 91.2% ± 2.3%. AOFAS scores increased with time, with significant differences in the score at each time point. Conclusions: The newly developed PSI-assisted calcaneal fracture MIIF method can rapidly and accurately execute the preoperative plan.
