Correlation of Fracture Energy With Sanders Classification and Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis After Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneus Fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To quantify fracture severity for a series of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs) and to correlate it with Sanders classification, post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), and patient outcomes.

Design

Retrospective review and fracture severity analysis.

Setting

Level 1 trauma center affiliated with the University of Iowa in Iowa City, IA.

Patients/participants

Thirty-six patients with 48 DIACFs were selected from 153 patients previously treated. All patients 18 years of age and older who had available electronic preop and postop computed tomography (CT) scans, good-quality postop and follow-up radiographs, and a follow-up ≥18 months were selected for study.

Intervention

Fractures were treated with percutaneous reduction, using
