The Result Treated by Open Reduction and Internal Fixation with Minimally Invasive Technique in Joint Depressive Calcaneal Fracture: Sueng Hwan Jo, Jun Young Lee, Sang Ho Ha, Sung Won Cho, Sang Ha Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2013;26(2):126-132. Published online April 30, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2013.26.2.126

PURPOSE
To evaluate the short term follow-up results of minimally invasive technique in the management of Sanders type II, III, and IV joint depressive calcaneal fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between May 2008 and May 2011, we studied 17 cases undergoing treatment with minimally invasive technique with modified sinus tarsi approach for Sanders II, III, and IV joint depressive intra-articular calcaneal fracture and were followed up for more than 1 year. We evaluated the treatment result by assessing the radiologic parameters (Bohler angle, Gissane angle, and calcaneal height/width/length) and clinical outcomes (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society [AOFAS] score and visual analog scale [VAS]) and investigating the complication.
RESULTS
Radiological results improved from 7.9degrees to 19.8degrees in the Bohler angle after the operation. Satisfactory results were obtained in clinical assessment with average AOFAS score of 82.45 and the average VAS score of 3.94. We experienced 3 cases of complications, 1 case of superficial wound infection and radiologic findings of subtalar arthritis in 2 cases.
CONCLUSION
Minimally invasive technique may be a useful alternative surgical method in the management of Sanders type II, III, and IV joint depressive calcaneal fracture that cannot adopt extensile approach, which enable to obtain good radiological and clinical results.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the relationship between radiographic parameters and clinical results after operative treatment of the displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We analyzed 35 patients of unilateral displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures who had operative treatment with minimum follow up of 1 year. At the last follow up, we measured the radiographic parameters including Bohler angle, Gissane angle, heel height, calcaneal length, talocalcaneal angle, talar declination angle, subtalar incongruity between normal and affected site. Clinical results were measured by Creighton-Nebraska Health Foundation Assessment Score (CNH). The correlation between the radiographic parameters and the clinical results were analysed by Pearson correlation method.
RESULTS
Among the all radiographic parameters we analyzed, only subtalar incongruity shows strong negative linear correlation with clinical results. The average difference of subtalar incongruity between normal and affected site was 0.54 mm (0~2.5) and the correlation coefficients with CNH score was -0.784 (p=0.002).
CONCLUSION
We suggest that the subtalar incongruity is significantly correlated with the clinical results after operative treatment of the displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures.
