ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive plate internal fixation for the treatment of calcaneal fractures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Manual reduction, rectification of deformity, and cold compress with traditional Chinese medicine were used preoperatively to relieve swelling and pain. A small incision was made to expose the articular facet and to perform anatomic reduction and plate fixation. Self-made traditional Chinese pharmaceutics were applied postoperatively on the surface of the wound to accelerate bony union.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the 40 patients were followed up for at least 1 year postoperatively. According to the Maryland scoring system, the excellent and good rate was 87.5%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Minimally invasive plate internal fixation has the advantages of relatively mild injury, reliable fixation, good recovery, and rare complications in the treatment of intraarticular fractures.</p>
