Outcome of Treatment of Displaced Intrartcular Fracture Calcaneus by Plate and Screws
Journal Title: Open Journal of Orthopedics and Rheumatology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Calcaneum fractures account for 2% of all fractures, 60% of tarsal bone fractures.10% of fractures are bilateral and 75% are intra articular [1]. 10% of fractures are associated with spine fractures. Mechanism of injury in majority of patients is axial loading i.e. fall from height. Other mechanisms are car accident i.e. brake pedal and high velocity trauma. Current development in imaging technology has allowed better understanding of this complex fracture pathology. Sanders classification [2] of intra articular Calcaneum fractures is widely used now a days because of its proven correlation with management and prognosis. Treating calcaneum fracture is controversy and challenging for orthopedic surgeon. Treatment options either non operative or operative methods [3,4]. Some studies show advantage to internal fixation whereas some show no difference [5,6]. Hence, this study has been carried out with the aim to assess the functional outcome of operatively treated intra articular calcaneal fractures.
