文摘

To determine patient satisfaction in the patients of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures treated with standard lateral approach.

Method

The patients of displaced calcaneal fractures (Sander's type II and III) treated between March 2009 and March 2012 were included in the retrospective review and functional outcome was evaluated using American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hind foot score, Creighton Nebraska Health Foundation Assessment (CNHFA) scale and foot function index (FFI).

Result

The cohort included 26 patients (19 males: seven were females) with a mean age of 38.16 ± 13.53 years (range 18–64 years). The mean period of follow-up was 24.42 ± 6.68 months. The patients achieved good functional scores after anatomical reduction of the fracture. The complication rate was low following strict inclusion criteria.

Conclusion

Careful patient selection in displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures treated through lateral extensile approach achieves good patient satisfaction.
