The treatment for calcaneus fracture involving talocaneal joint with AO titanium plate

Abstract

Objective The treatment of open reduction and internal fixation with AO titanium plate was applied for calcaneus fracture involving talocalcaneal joint. Methods 36 patients were performed with this method, the Bolder angle and Gissane angle of calcaneus were compared before and after operation. The patients were followed up for an average period of 11.2 months. Results All the patients were well healed, the average data of Bolder angle was 22. 31° after operation while - 7. 20° before operation. Conclusion The treatment of open reduction and internal fixation with AO titanium plate is a kind of good method for calcaneus fracture involving talocalcaneal joint. It can not only resume the Bohler angle and Gissane angle, but also resume length, breadth, height of calcaneus. As a result, it can achieve anatomical reduction and patients can do exercises as soon as possible. Key words: Subtalar; Fractures Boue; Internal fixation
