  Intra articular calcaneum fractures remain a challenging task for management owing to the various complications of both non operative and operative procedure. Non operative management can lead to heel widening and shortening, varus mal alignment leading to difficulty in walking. On the other hand operative technique using lateral extensile approach can lead to skin necrosis and infection. As a result it is important to try and manage these fractures in a minimally invasive manner. In this study we have selected patients with intra articular depressed calcaneum fractures and we have treated them using a minimally invasive approach using k wires and cc screws. In this way we were able to avoid any wound complications and we were able to restore the normal anatomy of calcaneum... Read More»
