Abstract Calcaneal fractures correspond to 2% of skeletal fractures and 60% of fractures of the tarsal bones.(1) Falling from the height is the main cause to these fractures and about 60% to 75% of calcaneal fractures are displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture.(2, 3) These fractures classified by plain x-ray into joint depression or tongue type by Essex leprosti classification or into 4 types by CT known as Sanders classification which is an important classification in understanding the nature of the fracture.Displaced intra articular calcaneus fractures are still until now a controversial topic among orthopedic surgeons. There is no single treatment option to manage all different fractures.(74)The aim of this study is the assessment and evaluation of providing and maintaining stable fixation by the use of a T-shaped plate for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. |
