Abstract

Diagnosis and surgical treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures have long been hotly debated topics in orthopaedics. In these individuals, it's important to keep an eye out for any soft tissue issues or coexisting diseases. Stability, anatomic reduction of the fracture, and preservation of soft tissue may all be achieved with the minimally invasive sinus tarsi technique. 31 individuals with 34 fractures were included in our research, with an average age of 34. (type ll 47 percent and type lll 53 percent ) There was a mean follow-up time of 20.45 months, a mean AOFAS of 91.38 percent, and a mean MFS of 94.79 percent for all patients. A less invasive incision allows for better vision and anatomic reduction of the articular surfaces while minimising the risk of complications
