Clinical outcomes of nice knot combined with cannulated screws for Beavis type II posterior calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fractures in osteoporotic elderly patients

This preliminary study suggests that the Nice knot combined with cannulated screw technique offers stable fixation, promotes early rehabilitation, and results in a low complication rate in osteoporotic elderly patients with Beavis type II avulsion fractures. However, the retrospective design, small sample size, and absence of a control group limit how broadly these findings can be applied. These preliminary results need validation through future prospective, multicenter randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes.
