Abstract:
Objective: This study was performed to analyze the clinical outcome of sinus tarsi approach in displaced intra articular calcaneal fractures which was fixed with cannulated cancellous screws.
Methods: This retrospective study included 30 displaced intra articular calcaneal fractures operated with sinus tarsi approach and fixed with cannulated cancellous screws. The outcome was measured by change in bohler’s and gissane angles. The clinical outcomes measured by AOFAS score.
Results: We have total 12 months of follow up of all patients. After operative procedure bohler’s and gissane angle improved significantly. Due to minimally invasive procedure infection rate was 0% in our study. According to AOFAS score we got excellent results in 9(30%), good result in 18(60%), fair result in 1(3.3%) and poor result in 2(6.6%) cases.
Conclusion: Sinus tarsi approach is very useful for displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures because it allows to do anatomical reduction of intra articular surface easily and provides excellent to good clinical outcomes with very few complications.
