Functional Outcome of Closed Intraarticular Displaced Calcaneal Fractures Managed With Locking Plate Fixation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures remains a challenge to orthopaedic surgeons since long time. Complications associated with conservative treatment i.e. incongruence of the posterior facet and, incongruence of the calcaneocuboid joint, arthritis, pain, heel widening leads to functional impairment to patients. Recent advances in this eld of surgery have enabled surgeons to perform open reduction internal xation with locking plate using extensile lateral approach in a safe, and reliable manner and to get better functional outcome by maintaining surgical anatomy and preventing complications associated with conservative treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures.
