Introduction
• Most common tarsal bone
fracture
• 1-2% of all fracture
• 60-75 %of them
intraarticular displaced
fracture
• 10% have a/w spine fracture
• 90% in young men
ANATOMY
• 4 articulating surface -3
superior and 1 anterior
• Superior surface articulate with
the talus
1. Posterior facet
2. Middle calcaneal facet
3. Anterior calcaneal facet
• Anterior surface :-triangular
surface articulate with cuboid
ANATOMY
• Lateral surface
Flat and
subcutaneous
Peroneal tubercle for
attachment of the
calcaneofibular
ligament centrally
anatomy
• Medial surface
Concave from above
to downward
Presence of a shelf
like projection of bone
called sustentaculum
Tali
anatomy
• Medial side : -
perforating branch of
posterior tibial artery
• Lateral side :- by
calcaneal artery
branch of posterior
tibial artery
MECHANISM
OF FRACTURE
• INTRAARTICULAR FRACTURE
Axial loading
Fall from height
Motor vehicle accident
• Calcaneal tuberosity fractures
Poor bone quality/osteoporosis
Recurrent microtrauma due to
peripheral neuropathy
MECHANISM OF FRACTURE
• Calcaneal stress fracture
Increase physical activity
• Anterior process fracture
Twisting injury
Avulsion injury of bifurcate ligament
CLASSIFICATION OF
CALCANEAL FRACTURE
FRACTURE LINE
• Primary fracture line
Created by the impact of talus on calcaneum
 Run from posteromedial to anterolateral
• Secondary fracture line
Additional cracks that develop as a result of the primary fracture
 These lines often radiate from the primary fracture line and can extend into
other parts of the calcaneus.
• Castant fragment
 specific part of the calcaneus that remains relatively stable and undisplaced,
even when the rest of the bone is fractured. It's called "constant" because it
remains in a constant position, unlike other fragments that may be displaced.

ORIF VIA THE EXTENSILE LATERAL
APPROACH
• this approach provide wider exposure of calcaneal allowing following
1. Better visualization of the fracture
2. More accurate reduction
3. Stabilization with plates and screws
• SURGICAL STEP
1. Patient positioning: Lateral decubitus position with the affected side up
2. Incision: A longitudinal incision is made along the lateral aspect of the foot and ankle,
approximately 8-10 cm in length
3. Dissection: Soft tissues are dissected, and the peroneal tendons are retracted
4. Exposure: The lateral wall of the calcaneus is exposed, and the fracture is visualized
5. Reduction: The fracture is reduced, and temporary K-wire fixation is used to hold the
reduction
6. Plate and screw fixation: A calcaneal plate and screws are applied to stabilize the
fracture
7. Closure: The incision is closed in layers, and the wound is dressed
calcaneal fracture presentation pptx.ppt
ORIF VIA THE EXTENSILE LATERAL
APPROACH
• Potential pitfall
Limited by quality and condition of soft tissue envelope
• Prevention
Preop planning
Availability of adequate instrument
Wrinkle sign present
Avoid microcirculatory compromise
ORIF VIA SINUS TARSI APPROACH
• sinus tarsi incision may additionally be utilized for direct visualization
of the posterior facet articular surface
• percutaneous screws are placed more plantarly from calcaneal
tuberosity into the anterior process, and beneath the displaced
posterior facet fragments
ORIF OF ANTERIOR PROCESS
FRACTURE
• Potential pitfall
Inadequate appreciation of fracture fragment
Inadequate exposure for cc joint reduction
• Prevention
Preop planning
Availability of adequate instrument
Reduction should be completed under direct visualization
ORIF VIA PERCUTANEOUS APPROACH
• Inadequate reduction and/or loss of reduction of the articular fragments
may occur in a significant number of cases
• In conclusion, minimally invasive and/or percutaneous techniques should be
reserved for relatively simple tongue-type fracture patterns
ORIF VIA MEDIAL APPROACH
• NO CONTROL OVER THE POSTERIOR FACED
SIMPLE TWO PART
EXTRAARTICULAR
MEDIAL WALL BLOW OUT
• HORIZONTAL INCISION HALF WAY BETWEEN THE TIP OF THE M.MAND THE
SOLE
• THE NEUROVASCULAR BUNDLE IS CAREFULLY RETRACTED
• THE ABDUCTOR HALLUSUS MUSCLE RETRACTED DOWNWARD
• DAMAGE TO CALCANEAL BRANCH OF POATERIOR TIBIAL NERVE
(25%CHANCE)
OR COMBINED WITH SUBTALAR
FUSION
• Potential pitfall
Maintenance of calcaneal height and length for fusion
• Prevention
Preop planning
Availability of adequate instrument
Availability of structural
CLOSURE TECHNIQUE
• Minimal soft tissue handling
• Use Pop –off absorbable sutures
• Which are hand –tied moving towards the apex of the wound
• Nonabsorbable interrupted nylon suture are placed using
the allgower- donati technique
POST OP FOLLOW UP
• MONITORING AND PAIN CONTROL
• LEG ELEVATED AND OUTPUT MONITORED OVERNIGHT
• PATIENT DISCHARGE WITH SPLINT OR SLAB
• AFTER 1WEEK - CAST APPLY
• AFTER 2-3 WEEK-CAM BOOT
• AFTER 2-3 WEEK ANKLE ROM EXERSISE STARTS IF

  • 47. ORIF VIA SINUS TARSI APPROACH • sinus tarsi incision may additionally be utilized for direct visualization of the posterior facet articular surface • percutaneous screws are placed more plantarly from calcaneal tuberosity into the anterior process, and beneath the displaced posterior facet fragments
  • 48. ORIF OF ANTERIOR PROCESS FRACTURE • Potential pitfall Inadequate appreciation of fracture fragment Inadequate exposure for cc joint reduction • Prevention Preop planning Availability of adequate instrument Reduction should be completed under direct visualization
  • 49. ORIF VIA PERCUTANEOUS APPROACH • Inadequate reduction and/or loss of reduction of the articular fragments may occur in a significant number of cases • In conclusion, minimally invasive and/or percutaneous techniques should be reserved for relatively simple tongue-type fracture patterns
  • 50. ORIF VIA MEDIAL APPROACH • NO CONTROL OVER THE POSTERIOR FACED SIMPLE TWO PART EXTRAARTICULAR MEDIAL WALL BLOW OUT • HORIZONTAL INCISION HALF WAY BETWEEN THE TIP OF THE M.MAND THE SOLE • THE NEUROVASCULAR BUNDLE IS CAREFULLY RETRACTED • THE ABDUCTOR HALLUSUS MUSCLE RETRACTED DOWNWARD • DAMAGE TO CALCANEAL BRANCH OF POATERIOR TIBIAL NERVE (25%CHANCE)
  • 51. OR COMBINED WITH SUBTALAR FUSION • Potential pitfall Maintenance of calcaneal height and length for fusion • Prevention Preop planning Availability of adequate instrument Availability of structural
  • 52. CLOSURE TECHNIQUE • Minimal soft tissue handling • Use Pop –off absorbable sutures • Which are hand –tied moving towards the apex of the wound • Nonabsorbable interrupted nylon suture are placed using the allgower- donati technique
  • 53. POST OP FOLLOW UP • MONITORING AND PAIN CONTROL • LEG ELEVATED AND OUTPUT MONITORED OVERNIGHT • PATIENT DISCHARGE WITH SPLINT OR SLAB • AFTER 1WEEK - CAST APPLY • AFTER 2-3 WEEK-CAM BOOT • AFTER 2-3 WEEK ANKLE ROM EXERSISE STARTS IF WOUND HEALED • WEIGHT BEARING STARTS AFTER 10-12 WEEK
  • 54. Complications • Wound problems • Apical wound necrosis • Infection
  • 55. Late complication Subtalar joint pain  Osteomyelitis  Peroneal tendinitis  Heel spur  Arthritis of calcaneocuboid & talonavicular joint.  Nerve entrapment  Widening of heel
  • 59. PRGNOSIS • Depends on Articular involvement Degree of displacement Number and size of bone fragment Associated injuries Timeliness and quality of treatment Age and overall health Complication

  • #44: The incision starts approximately 2 cm above the tip of the lateral malleolus, just lateral to the Achilles tendon. This line is continued vertically toward the plantar surface of the heel. It is connected to a line drawn at the junction of the lateral foot and the heel pad—typically when compressing the heel, a crease will appear in this region the two drawn lines form a right angle, this is replaced with a gentle curve heel. The incision is started at the proximal part of the vertical limb, becoming full thickness once the calcaneal tuberosity is reached. The knife should be taken “straight to bone” at this level, with care taken not to bevel the skin. As the knife rounds the corner, pressure is relaxed and a layered incision is developed along the plantar aspect of the foot
