Comparison of two surgical strategies for fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneus with or without bridging plate fixation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the therapeutic effects of applying internal fixation with a T-shaped locking plate that was used on the distal radius in fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneus (APC) with calcaneocuboid (CC) joint injury.

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled adult patients diagnosed with APC with CC joint injury that had received internal fixation with a T-shaped locking plate of the distal radius. Group NA underwent open reduction with 'not-across' CC joint plate fixation; and group A underwent open reduction with 'across' CC joint locking plate fixation. The outcomes were assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, a visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and radiological evaluations.
