Operative Treatment of Intraarticular Fractures of the Os Calcis—The Role of Rigid Internal Fixation and Primary Bone Grafting

Intra-articular displaced fractures of the calcaneus

“…The results of this study seem to demonstrate that operative treatment gives better results than nonoperative treatment for displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus; this is in keeping with the findings of most authors [1,2,7,10,11,12,14,16,18,20]. However, it must be borne in mind that some authors recommend manual reduction [13] or functional treatment for this injury [4].…”

Internal Fixation of the Intra Articular Fractures of Calcaneum without Bone Grafting

“…Sustentaculum tali screw fixation was applied in two of our cases has provide the advantages of high stability, less postoperative pain, rapid functional recovery in treating Sanders type II and III calcaneal fractures as recommended (8). The calcaneus locking plates address all the problem of calcaneal fracture fixation.…”

“…Results are more favourable in less comminuted as compared to more comminuted. (10) The study have used locking compression plate in calacaneal fracture without using bone graft or bone cement for calcaneal fixation (6-9) Zhongguo et all,(11) however Leung et al (8), Thordarson et al(9), and Schildhauer et al(10) recommended use of bone graft or injectable bone cement to increase stability and compressive strength of fixation and quicker rehabilitation.…”

Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures: Current Concepts and Modern Management

“…3C) is controversial as it is bone loss dependent and usually unnecessary. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Correction of the compression and varus deformity of the calcaneal body is done by a 6.5 mm threaded pin that is inserted in the posterior inferior calcaneal body.…”
