Abstract
Operative therapy was performed on 11 intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus by means of extended lateral approach with calcaneal plate. Preoperatively, all cases were evaluated by Sanders classification. Clinical evaluation was performed by Maxfield score, and nine out of all 11 cases achieved excellent or good results.Pre-and postoperative changes in radiographic findings were studied. Improvement of the Bhler angle was not necessarily reflected in the clinical results, but on the other hand, improvement of the width index and intra-articular displacement was reflected. This method is considered to be an effective treatment for intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
