Role of Bohler’s Angle and Gissane’s Angle in Predicting the Functional Outcome in Surgically Treated Calcaneal Fractures
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum should be treated by anatomical reduction and rigid internal fixation, to allow early movement and get a better functional outcome. We included 40 patients in our prospective and retrospective study. The patients were followed up clinically and radiologically at 12weeks, 6 months, and 1year, with respect to height of calcaneum, width of the calcaneum, range of movements at subtalar joint, tubero-talar angles. The mean Post op Bohler’s angle was 26.16° and Gissane’s angle was 119.76°. In our analysis, we confirmed correlation between the Bohler's angle size and patient satisfaction in terms of their functional outcome.
