Purpose: To evaluate the quality of reduction and clinical outcomes by using Percutaneous Distractor and Subtalar Arthroscopy Closed Reduction followed by Internal Fixation (PDSA-CRIF) in the intra-articular calcaneal fracture.
Methods: A consecutive case series of 453 patients with 507 displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures was recruited in this retrospective study. We performed PDSA-CRIF to treat intra-articular calcaneal fractures. The quality of reduction was assessed by early postoperative Computed Tomography (CT) scans and measurement of serial Bohler's angles during follow-ups. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the American Foot & Ankle Society ankle-hind foot scale (AOFAS) scoring system.
Results: Fifty-nine patients (68 fractures) who had complete clinical data and follow-up of at least 12-months (mean: 14 months, range: 12-59 months) were finally included. Anatomical and near-anatomical reduction in subtalar articular surface which had less than 2 mm gap or step-off was found in 93% fractures. Unsatisfactory reduction was found in 7%.
Conclusion: Arthroscopic-assisted percutaneous fixation using a distraction device is effective in achieving positive short-term results in the displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. A multicenter, large sample, randomized control trial is needed to fully evaluate the long-term effects of PDSA-CRIF in comparison to other methods.

Aims: Which is the best extensile lateral (ELA) or sinus tarsi (STA) approach for osteosynthesis displaced intraarticular calcaneal fracture (DIACF) is still debatable. The current RCT's primary objective was to compare the complications incidence after open reduction and internal fixation of DIACFs through STA vs. ELA.

Objective: Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of combined repositioning - open repositioning of the depressed articular facet combined with intraoperative two-vector distraction of the calcaneus with a new external fixation distraction apparatus and osteosynthesis with a calcaneal plate with angular stability of a Sanders IV type fracture..
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: This study evaluates the results of sequential two-vector distraction with a repositioning apparatus for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a Sanders IV calcaneal fracture.

Calcaneal articular fractures are fractures classically associated with a high rate of complications and poor outcomes. Osteosynthesis of the calcaneus through a sinus tarsi approach has shown results equal to or superior to those of the extended approach, having become the new gold standard.The objective: of this article is to detail step by step the surgical technique of osteosynthesis of intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus through a sinus tarsi approach, from the selection of the fracture, positioning of the patient, layout of the operating room and the fluoroscope, the entire surgical process until postoperative treatment.

Background: Intra-articular and comminuted fractures of the calcaneus constitute a significant orthopedic challenge. Calcaneal fracture management should primarily aim to achieve good clinical and biomechanical outcomes, pain reduction, and normal function following treatment.
Research Question: How does Ilizarov treatment of calcaneal fractures affect gait parameters?
Methods: This retrospective study included 21patients (7 women, 14 men) who were treated for intra-articular calcaneal fractures with the Ilizarov method in the period 2021-2022.

Background: Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures are a complication-ridden injury to treat and there are various treatment techniques to address this injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term outcome of a percutaneous two-point distractor technique in patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis of patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures treated in a level 1 trauma center was conducted.
