Minimally Invasive Surgical Correction of Displaced Intraarticular Fractures of Calcaneum Shows better Clinical Outcome over Conventional Plating

Abstract

The gold standard treatment for intra-articular displaced fractures is open reduction internal 
fixation using an extended lateral approach. However, many calcaneus fractures are associated 
with severe soft tissue injuries, which increase the risks of skin necrosis and infections, 
particularly in patients who smoke or have diabetes. Surgeons have opted for less invasive 
techniques
