They were retrospectively analyzed during preoperative, postoperative the joint surface, the Bohler angle and Gissane angle , mean follow-up of 12 months, Maryland Foot Score were compared by the analysis. Results All cases were followed up for 12 months averagely. Joint surface flatness of 18 cases were significantly improved, Bohler angle, Gissane angle were also significant differences (P < 0.05). The excellent rate of Maryland score was 86.8%. Conclusion The bridge baton fixation with arthroscopic surgery for treatment of calcaneal fractures is certain effective and minimally invasive.
