Outcome of Calcaneal Fracture management by open reduction and fixation with bone grafting: A record based study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
This hospital based study was conducted to evaluate the functional and radiographic outcome after ORIF of displaced or depressed intra-articular calcaneal fractures treated only by K (Kirschner) wires with CC (Cannulated Cancellous) screw fixation and augmented with bone grafts. Outcome of patients as per American Orthopaedics Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) was observed post operatively and after 3 and 6 months. The difference in the AOFAS score of pre and post operative patients was statistically highly significant (p<0.00001). The difference between the participants in excellent category immediately post surgery and 6 months post surgery was statistically significant (X2=7.917, p=0.005). The lateral approach with K wire and CC screw fixation with bone graft is an effective option for management of displaced intra articular calcaneal fractures, resulting in good functional outcome.
