Minimally invasive dual incision with mini plate internal fixation improves outcomes over 30 months in 20 patients with sanders type III calcaneal fractures
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research May 13, 2020
Chen J, Yang Z, Kong C, et al. - This study was conducted to assess a combination of minimally invasive dual incision and internal fixation applying mini plates for treating Sanders type III calcaneal fractures. Researchers enrolled a total of 20 patients with Sanders type III intra-articular calcaneal fractures with a posterior subtalar articular displacement > 2 mm. They evaluated surgical outcomes by visual analogue scale pain score, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hindfoot score, and calcaneal geometry, including Böhler and Gissane angles. These outcomes of this research indicate that for the treatment of Sanders type III calcaneal fractures, minimally invasive dual incision with mini plate internal fixation may be an effective alternative to open reduction and internal fixation. Improvement of calcaneal geometry and a lower rate of wound infections were the benefits of this technique..
