Minimally Invasive, Displaced Intra-Articular Calcaneal FracturesAbstract
Background: Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs) represent one of the most complex injuries in foot and ankle trauma, often resulting from high-energy mechanisms and associated with substantial morbidity. Traditional open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) via extensile lateral approaches has been considered the gold standard for restoring calcaneal anatomy and subtalarcongruity. However, this technique is associated with high rates of wound complications
