Abstract:

Precise and minimally invasive surgery have become the mainstream trend for the surgical treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures, but there is a lack of detailed descriptive research on the key points of precise andminimally invasive techniques. In this paper, three key points of precise minimally invasive surgery techniques for displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures, including closed reduction technique, longitudinal small incision approach and precise implantation of self-positioning calcaneus navigation osteosynthesis plate, are described in detail by means of combination of pictures and text, in order to provide useful information for clinical orthopedic trauma surgeons or foot and ankle surgeons to better understand, master and apply precise minimally invasive surgery techniques.

Key words: Calcaneal fracture, Intra articular fracture, Minimally invasive, Precision, Navigation, Self positioning
