Arthroscopically-Assisted Osteosynthesis of Calcaneal Fractures: Clinical and Radiographic Results of a Prospective Study

Abstract

In our group of patients with predominantly less severe types of calcaneal fractures, the quality of post-operative fracture reduction, as a result of minimally invasive, arthroscopically-assisted osteosynthesis, appeared to be comparable with open techniques. The observed complete bone healing and absence of soft-tissue problems could present a surgical option to treatment nihilism in patients contraindicated for ORIF techniques.
