Balloon reduction and cement fixation in intra-articular calcaneal fractures: a percutaneous approach to intra-articular calcaneal fractures

摘要

Purpose The management of calcaneal fractures remains challenging and often controversial. Open reduction and internal fixation with a lateral plate has been established as a standard therapy for displaced articular fractures. However, accurate subtalar joint reduction, while mandatory, is difficult to achieve, requires an extensive lateral approach, and clinical results may not be up to the difficulty of the task.
