Abstract

Percutaneous Surgery Provides Better Functional Outcomes for Displaced Intra-Articular Calcaneal Fractures

Highlights

Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs) is a severe injury, and the ensuing prognosis for typically young patients with DIACFs remains dismal [1]
We have explored the various effects of the eight surgery treatments for DIACFs by implementation of both pairwise and network meta-analysis
The results indicated that open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and percutaneous surgery were the most common surgical procedures involved for the treatment for DIACFs [13]

Summary

Introduction

Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs) is a severe injury, and the ensuing prognosis for typically young patients with DIACFs remains dismal [1]. Calcaneal fractures with an indicated occurrence of 2% of all fractures are relatively rare injuries [2], and calcaneal fractures can have long-term consequences for pain and disability [3]. Calcaneal fractures are rare injuries for children, and those afflicted by DIACFs patterns are found even less [5]. Most calcaneus fractures are involved with children, which can be managed non-operatively with expectation of good long-term results [6]. The optimal choice of therapy for DIACFs has long been a source of uncertainty in Orthopaedic’s surgery, both in terms of the impact of the therapy on clinical outcomes and on health-care and non-health-care costs [7]. Surgical treatment for DIACFs of the calcaneus is a standard operating procedure in many institutions [9]
