Correlation between Clinical Outcome and Radiologic Features After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Calcaneal Fractures

CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant correlation between Böhler and Gissane angles and the clinical outcomes in surgically treated calcaneal fractures. Also, functional outcomes do not change considerably among different grades of arthritis in calcaneocuboid and subtalar joints, at least during short- to mid-term follow-up periods. Radiologic findings after open reduction and internal fixation of calcaneal fractures are not predictors of function of the patients.PMID:38446548 | DOI:10.7547/22-085
