Abstract
Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures are considered as a therapeutic challenge due to fracture complexity and different treatment options intra-articular fractures carry a high morbidity. approximately 20%
are not able to return to work within a year, rendering intra-articular
calcaneal fractures costly on a socio-economic aspect (2). Operative treatment
has been divided into closed, percutaneous, and open techniques.
Percutaneous reduction and screw fixation has the advantages of
minimal invasive surgery including; less morbidity, early recovery,
decreased rehabilitation period and smaller scars.
The present study was planned to evaluate functional and radiological
results of percutaneous fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal
fractures in adults using cannulated screws and if needed autogenous bone
graft, and were followed for a minimum of 6 month. The average age of the
patients was 33 years, ranging from 18 to 60 years, 19 of them were males.
Exclusion criteria include open fractures, non compliant, neglected fracture
(more than 14 days), non-displaced fractures, and crushed calcaneus.
