A Protocol for Percutaneous Transarticular Fixation of Sanders Type II and III Calcaneal Fractures With or Without an Added Mini-Open Approach.

Intra-articular fracture of the calcaneus is one of the most displeasing fractures if not properly managed. Open reduction and internal fixation have been associated with a high incidence of postoperative soft tissue complications. Closed reduction and percutaneous fixation have resulted in a greater incidence of postoperative subtalar osteoarthritis with improper reduction of the articular surface.

Management of post-traumatic bone defects of the tibia using vascularised fibular graft combined with Ilizarov external fixator.

Introduction: Post-traumatic bone defects of the tibia present a difficult reconstructive challenge. Various methods of reconstruction are available, such as allografts, vascularised fibular graft (either free or pedicled) and bone transport technique.

Patients And Methods: Fourteen patients with an average age of 34.
