Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the nationwide incidence (per 100,000 person-years) of operative treatment and hospitalization due to calcaneal fractures (CF) in Finland.
Methods: The study was based on the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register. All patients aged 18-years or older admitted to Finnish hospitals for primary treatment of CF in 1987-2012 were included.
Results: During the 26-year study period 5977 patients were hospitalized with main or secondary diagnosis of a CF. The incidence of hospitalization due to CF remained relatively stable: (12.5)/100,000 in men and 3.9/100,000 in women. The men were younger (median 43 years) than the women (median 61 years).
Conclusions: The incidence of the hospitalization due to CF in Finland has remained at steady level during the past 26 years. The incidence of CF is three times higher in men. In 2012 22% of the fractures were operatively treated.

Orthopedics Department, Gongli Hospital of Shanghai Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China.
Objective: Soft tissue defects and postoperative wound healing complications related to calcaneus fractures may result in significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether percutaneous minimally invasive screw internal fixation (PMISIF) can change this situation in the treatment of calcaneal fractures, and aimed to explore the mechanical effects of different internal fixation methods on Sanders type III calcaneal fractures through finite element analysis.
Methods: This retrospective analysis focused on 83 patients with Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures from March 2017 to March 2022.

Background: The standard approach for addressing intra-articular calcaneal fractures involves open reduction with plate and screw fixation, with ongoing discourse regarding the application of grafts to address bone gaps. The aim of this study is the temporal comparison of the radiological and functional outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for intra-articular calcaneal fractures, with a specific focus on the use of bone grafts.
Methods: Thirty patients, comprising 13 with iliac grafts and 17 without, were enrolled in the study.
Developing a Risk Score for Predicting Multiple Revision Surgeries in Patients With Fracture-Related Infections.

January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Yeager, Rutz, Strother, Spitler, and Johnson), and the Heersink School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Gross, Benson, and Carter).
Introduction: Postoperative infections are a leading cause of morbidity following fracture repair. The purpose of this study is to develop a risk score predicting fracture-related infection (FRI) that will require one versus multiple revision surgeries related to infection eradication and bone healing.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single level I trauma center from 2013 to 2020.

Introduction: Extreme beak calcaneal fractures (Type 2 Lee's tuberosity avulsion fractures) are rare injuries, accounting for only 1.3-3% of all calcaneal fractures. These injuries are considered as surgical emergency as they can lead to significant functional impairment and soft-tissue compromise if not promptly managed.
