Comparison of the Outcomes of Plating, Screw Fixation, and Pinning in Sanders Type II Fractures: A Multicenter (TRON) Retrospective Study

Calcaneus fractures Sanders Type II have been historically treated with various modalities. However, few studies compared these procedures directly. The multicenter (TRON group) retrospective study compared the radiographic and clinical outcomes of operative procedures using Kirschner wires (K-wires), cannulated cancellous screws (CCSs) and plates. Between 2014 and 2020, 121 patients with Sanders type II calcaneus fractures were surgically treated in our group using K-wire (Group K: n=31), CCS (Group C: n=60) or plate (Group p: n=30) fixation.
