RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:The treatment of calcaneal fractures using open surgery is likely to cause greater trauma. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical effect of steinmann pin poking closed reduction axial combined with lateral multiple hol ow screws internal fixation in repair of Sanders II, III type calcaneal fractures. METHODS:The clinical data of 73 patients with Sanders II, III type calcaneal fractures were retrospectively analyzed and divided into conventional group (n=36) and experimental group (n=37) according to the treatment method. Patients in these two groups were respectively treated with conventional open reduction internal fixation and steinmann pin poking closed reduction axial combined with lateral multiple hol ow screws internal fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the conventional group, the hospital stays of patients in experimental group were shorter, hospital costs reduced. There were no obvious changes in the foot rating from the American Association of Ankle Injuries, B?hler angle and Gissane angle. The incidence of complications was significantly decreased. These results demonstrate that the treatment of Sanders II, III type calcaneal fractures with conventional open reduction and bone plate internal fixation and steinmann pin poking closed reduction axial combined with lateral multiple hol ow screws internal fixation can obtain the basic equivalent clinical effect, however, the treatment of steinmann pin poking closed reduction axial combined with lateral multiple hol ow screws internal fixation have more obvious advantages, such as a shorter hospital stays, less hospital costs, and also can effectively control the complications.
