 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 20 A small incision in the medial and lateral calcaneal fractures with limited internal fixation of Authors: Feng Hua Tan Guang-yi, Wang Jing-yan Tan National Day of civilization Abstract [Objective] To investigate the small incision within the lateral calcaneal fractures with limited internal fixation method and effect. [Method] in February 2002 ~ August 2005 using the conventional narrow medial lateral incision-assisted small incision revealed, line calcaneal fractures with limited internal fixation, micro-plate 3 feet, simply screw 8 feet, screw and with the counter-pull away from the combines 16 feet. [Results] The patients were followed up 9 to 18 months, refer to American Academy of Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle scoring system of clinical evaluation, an average of 87 points. 24 foot normal wound healing, delayed healing of two feet, a foot part of the skin flap necrosis, no infections. [Conclusion] The inside and outside a small incision combined with limited internal fixation of calcaneal fractures, reducing the interference of the surrounding tissue, and is conducive to the joint surface and the heel shape of the reduction, to reduce the incidence of complications. Keywords: minimally invasive fixation of calcaneal fractures Calcaneal fractures wide variety of treatment methods, there are currently more inclined to displaced intra-articular fractures with open reduction and internal fixation, in order better to restore the calcaneal shape and subtalar joints to reset. Exposed to more conventional big “L”-shaped incision, hospital from February 2002 ~ August 2005 were treated 22 cases of 27 pairs of foot-articular calcaneal fractures reduce the lateral incision-assisted medial incision line with the limited internal fixation method of treatment of calcaneal reset good, incision complications, less satisfactory result.
