ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of applying internal fixation with a T-shaped locking plate that was used on the distal radius in fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneus (APC) with calcaneocuboid (CC) joint injury. METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled adult patients diagnosed with APC with CC joint injury that had received internal fixation with a T-shaped locking plate of the distal radius. Group NA underwent open reduction with 'not-across' CC joint plate fixation; and group A underwent open reduction with 'across' CC joint locking plate fixation. The outcomes were assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, a visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and radiological evaluations. RESULTS: A total of 72 patients were enrolled in the study; 36 in each group. At 1 month after surgery, the outcomes of group NA were superior to group A in terms of AOFAS and VAS scores. Compared with group A, group NA showed significantly lower intraoperative blood loss, operation time and length of hospital stay. There were no significant differences in the postoperative improvement of Bolher's and Gissane's angles between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Early functional recovery was faster in group NA than group A.

Objective To study the application of open reduction and plasticity titanium plate in the treatment of calcaneal fracture.Methods 29 patients with sanders Ⅱ、Ⅲ、V calcaneal fracture were treated by surgery with open reduction and titanium plate fixation.The clinical effects were observed.Results All patients were followed by Maryland Foot score postoperative functional evaluation system,the group of 29 cases of fracture,excellent 21 cases,good 9 cases,acceptable 2 cases,excellent rate was 93.7％.Condtusion The open reduction and internat fixation with plastic titanic plate was reliable to treat displaced intra-articular fracture of calcaneus.
ABSTRACT
To discuss and evaluate the method and effect of using calcaneal anatomic plate in treatment of intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus with assistant of arthroscope, 86 intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus in 78 patients were reduced by open reduction, and rigid fixation was made with calcaneal anatomic plate under assistant of arthroscope. The average follow-up duration was 18 months (range 12-30 months). The effect of treatment was evaluated according to AOFAS and X-ray before and after operation. The results showed that 86 patients have obtained satisfactory reduction according to X-ray, and there was significant difference before and after operation (P＜0.01), the total excellent and fine rate was 91.86 %. Treating intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus with calcaneal anatomic plate under arthroscope may provide more chance to achieve anatomical reconstruction, which can lead to satisfied recovery of function and few complication.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of applying special calcaneal anatomy plate to treat serious comminuted fracture of calcaneus, with consideration of its frequent complications and difficulties in treatment. Methods From January 1999 to august 2001, we applied calcaneal anatomy plates to treat 14 cases of serious crumbled fracture of calcaneus. The vein pump was used to decrease the swelling before and after operation. Anti mycete measures were taken. During operation, we paid attention to the reduction of articular face, Bohler angle and critical angle, and made secure internal fixation with calcaneal anatomy plate and cancellous bone screw. Results 14 cases were followed up for 23 months averagely. 85.7% of the patients were satisfactory with the remission of subjective symptoms, while the rate of excellent foot outline was 92.9% . The rate of excellent joint motion of foot and ankle was 71.4% , and the rate of excellent Bohler angle was 78.6% . The overall excellent and good rate was 98.3% . Conclusion Applying the calcaneal anatomy plate to treat serious crumbled fracture of calcaneus and paying attention to good reduction, can acquire secure internal fixation, and permit patients to exercise earlier after operation, and can greatly decrease complications of calcaneal fracture.
