The objective of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous cannulated screw fixation and traditional plate internal fixation in the treatment of Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures. The records of 64 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-three cases were fixed by percutaneous cannulated screws. Thirty-one cases were fixed with traditional steel plate. The preoperative preparation time of screw group and plate group was 3 ± 1.7 days and 4.6 ± 2.1 days. The surgery time was 118.9 ± 43.8 minutes and 146.9 ± 47.6 minutes.
