Research paper thumbnail of Evaluation of the short-term results of closed reduction and percutaneous K-wires fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF)

Open surgery carries the risk of wound complications, while non-operative management has a high incidence of arthrosis. To avoid these complications, minimally invasive and percutaneous fixation was introduced. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the short term clinical and radiological outcomes after closed reduction and percutaneous fixation of DIACF using K-wires. PATIENTS AND METHODS Outcomes of twenty patients were evaluated at the final follow up. A functional assessment using the AOFAS scoring system. Radiological parameters recorded included three angles (Böhler's, Gissane and posterior facet inclination angles) and three distances (calcaneal length, height and width). Any complications were reported at any follow-up. RESULTS The mean patient's age was 33 ± 15.2 years, 8 (40%) patients with type II fractures, 10 (50%) patients with type III fra...
