Lateral bone flap approach for displaced intra‐articular calcaneus fractures

Abstract: Background: The traditional extended lateral approach for calcaneus fractures can provide sufficient exposure for reduction, but complications are frequent. The minimally invasive approach does limited damage to the soft tissue and its complication rate is low, but provides limited surgical exposure for complicated fracture. Thus, an approach that could provide wide exposure with less soft tissue injury is important. Methods: The lateral bone flap approach, we proposed, involved the same incision as the extend… Show more

“…In our previous study, the metallic plate and screws were applied to obtain rigid fixation of the fractured calcaneus [17]. Inherent demerits of embedding the metal implants in the osteotomy surface are as follows: removing implants is difficult with this procedure and there would be a residual dead space between the lateral wall and the implants.…”
