Abstract Percutaneous treatment of calcaneal fractures is intended to reduce soft tissue complications and postop-erative stiffness of the subtalar joint. This allows the tuberosity to be used as a reduction tool for the posterior facet. Whatever the strategy, the key principles to keep in mind are to maintain plantarflexion and avoid direct pressure over the skin at risk. Percutaneous fixation should be considered in patients with soft-tissue compromise, especially in patients who smoke or have diabetes as they are at higher risk of soft-tissue complications. Restoration of doi: 10.1016/j.injury.2004.07.012. Injury.

Because the reduction maneuver is forceful, it bends the initial reduction tool (K wire) and once a cannulated screw or guide wire is passed across the fracture, the bent wire can be removed and replaced with another K wire or cannulated screw. These wires should be parallel to the lateral portion of the foot, as viewed from the sole (Fig 1F). 2009;19:197200. The reduction is fixated with two or three screws inserted percutaneously. calcaneum, locking plate, percutaneous, cc screw, internal fixation Introduction Fractures of the calcaneum, the most commonly injured tarsal bone, has an incidence of approximately 1%-2% of all fractures [ 1, 2 ].

All restrictions were removed at 3 months post-op. J Orthop Trauma 12:469-473, 1998. We have found that two partially threaded 6.5-mm screws work well in many cases. As discussed previously, these injuries are at high risk for posterior wound complications. Gissane3 developed a special spike instrument for performing this reduction, which later was popularized by Essex-Lopresti3 and now is commonly referred to as the Essex-Lopresti technique. MeSH Epub 2014 May 1. The treatment of patients with intraarticular calcaneal fractures remains controversial. 2022. From the Department of Orthopaedics, Boston Medical Center, Boston, MA. There are several strategies that have been used postoperatively to maintain adequate immobilization while protecting the overlying soft tissues. Although s Injury. The calcanei in Group 1 were treated with two parallel longitudinal screws, entering superiorly the Achilles tendon insertion, and two screws fixing the intraarticular posterior facet fracture line. Remember Me. Epub 2019 Mar 6. These fractures should be immobilized in plantarflexion to minimize pressure on the posterior skin and to take tension off of the repair. Positional screws can be considered depending on the fracture morphology. This is performed by placing a varus stress on the heel (via the K wire) and forefoot, which will cause additional lateral displacement of the displaced facet fragment. Once the wires are in proper position (Fig 1E) the reduction maneuver is performed by using the first (large) K wire as a reduction tool. J Orthop Trauma 10:63-67, 1996. Letournel E: Open treatment of acute calcaneal fractures. Multidetector CT evaluation of calcaneal fractures. If confirmed on all views, the second K wire, which already is on a drill, is driven across the fracture to maintain the reduction (Fig 1H). In 33 of 61 patients with displaced intraarticular fractures (types IIA and IIB), anatomic reduction of the subtalar joint was confirmed arthroscopically; these patients form the basis of this report. 2013 Sep;34(9):1279-85. doi: 10.1177/1071100713487182.
