Three-Dimensional Imaging of Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures Correlates With the Perioperative Diagnosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intra-articular calcaneal fractures are complex injuries, and CT imaging has become the standard imaging in the preoperative assessment. Most classifications of these fractures are CT-based but have been associated with limited interobserver agreement. Three-dimensional imaging has become widely available and may give a better perspective but often with 1 image only. There is not much evidence of the added value of this imaging, compared with the CT imaging.

Methods

Eight experienced trauma surgeons assessed 28 different intra-articular calcaneal fractures, on conventional radiology (CR), CT, and 3-D imaging. All had extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this difficult injury. The main questions concerned Sanders classification, the severity of th
