Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Bone Fracture Management

Background:

  • Calcaneal tuberosity fractures represent 1-3% of all calcaneal fractures.
  • Surgical fixation is complicated by patient comorbidities like osteoporosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the use of a locking compression hook plate for type 2 calcaneal tuberosity fractures.
  • To evaluate the plate's effectiveness in osteoporotic bone.

Main Methods:

  • Application of a locking compression hook plate for surgical fixation.
  • Focus on treatment of type 2 fracture patterns.

Main Results:

  • The locking compression hook plate provides stable fixation.
  • Effective in managing osteoporotic bone.
  • Avoids soft tissue and metalwork irritation issues.

Conclusions:

  • Locking compression hook plate is a viable option for calcaneal tuberosity fractures.
  • Offers advantages in osteoporotic bone and reduces complications.
