Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneus Fractures: Extensile Lateral and Less Invasive Approaches.
Treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures is controversial and must be individualized by patient and fracture type. With an extensile lateral approach, all components of the deformity in displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures can be addressed. The extensile lateral approach is indicated in more complex fracture patterns and when delay of surgery is necessary because of severe soft-tissue injury beyond 2 to 3 weeks. Careful patient selection, proper surgical timing, incision placement, and soft-tissue handling minimize the high rate of wound healing complications associated with the extensile lateral approach. The goals of surgical treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures may also be achieved using less invasive approaches, such as the sinus tarsi approach and closed reduction with percutaneous fixation, decreasing the risk of wound complications. Multiple factors influence determination of the specific approach.
