A Modified Design External Fixator System for Calcaneal Fractures: Surgical Technique and an Observational Single-Center Study

The proposed technique facilitates early surgical treatment and the satisfactory restoration of calcaneal morphology with no soft-tissue complications. It appears to be safe and effective in selected patients. A longer follow-up will provide further insight into long-term outcomes, such as subtalar osteoarthritis.

Abstract

The proposed technique facilitates early surgical treatment and the satisfactory restoration of calcaneal morphology with no soft-tissue complications. It appears to be safe and effective in selected patients. A longer follow-up will provide further insight into long-term outcomes, such as subtalar osteoarthritis.
