Abstract Purpose Several minimally invasive procedures were used to treat displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs). No agreement among different authors about either the ideal fixation method or which technique is minimally invasive. The aim of this study was to compare functional and radiographic outcomes of two minimally invasive techniques in treatment of Sanders type II and III DIACFs by using ... Read more

Abstract Background: Treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs) remains controversial and challenging to orthopaedic surgeons. Several procedures were used to treat DIACFs. There is no single approach that is universally applicable to all DIACFs. Objective:-The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate functional and radiographic outcomes of closed reduction and percutaneous cannulated screws fixation in treatment of Sanders ...

Abstract Congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) is one of the most common congenital anomalies encountered in pediatric orthopedics. Its incidence is about 1:1000 live births. It remains a challenge not only to understand its genetic origins but also to provide effective long-term treatment and prevention of recurrences. Clubfoot can lead to serious walking problems if left untreated. Conservative treatment with the ... Read more

Displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures (DIACFs) are sources of potential disability to the patient, economic burden to the society and a treatment challenge to the average orthopaedic surgeon. Up to date, there is no single approach that is universally applicable to all DIACFs. ORIF can be associated with significant wound complications. Conservative treatment may not be acceptable in a young active ... Read more
