Fractures: Bone Repair

3.3K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Summary

The sinus tarsi approach for calcaneus fractures offers a mini-invasive option with a low complication rate, even in high-risk patients. This technique, using an anterolateral locking plate, achieves good fracture reduction and functional outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Context:

  • Extended lateral approaches for calcaneus fractures carry a high infection risk.
  • Mini-invasive techniques, like the sinus tarsi approach, can mitigate these risks.
  • The sinus tarsi approach offers excellent visualization of the calcaneus posterior joint facet.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the initial experience and outcomes of using an anterolateral locking plate via the sinus tarsi approach for joint depression calcaneal fractures.
  • To assess the complication rates, reduction quality, and functional outcomes in patients treated with this technique.

Summary:

  • 18 patients with calcaneal fractures (Sanders II-III, tongue-type) underwent open reduction and osteosynthesis using an anterolateral locking plate and headless screws via the sinus tarsi approach.
  • Excellent to good reduction quality was achieved in all patients, with a low incidence of complications including no deep surgical site infections.
  • The mean AOFAS Hindfoot score at one year was 85, with common complaints including scar pain.

Impact:

  • The sinus tarsi approach with an anterolateral locking plate is a viable, low-complication method for calcaneal fracture osteosynthesis.
  • This technique provides good reduction capabilities, even in complex fractures and high-risk patient populations.
  • Results suggest this approach can be an effective alternative to traditional methods, improving patient outcomes.
