  1. MINIMALLY INVASIVE FIXATION OF CALCANEAL FRACTURES DunjaDelevska MS-4 New York College of Podiatric Medicine November 2012

  2. OUTLINE • Imaging • Classification • Management • Literature

  3. PRESENTATION 35 y.o. male patient presents to ED with cc of foot pain b/l. S/p fell in a pothole while texting No open fracture Patient is AAO x3 Denies LOC

  4. IMAGING DP X-Ray of the foot Lateral of the foot and ankle Bohler’stuberosity joint angle Crucial angle of Gissane • Calcaneocuboid joint involvement • Medial subluxation of talus at TNJ – severe fractures

  5. IMAGING (cont.)

  6. IMAGING (cont.) Right foot X-Rays Evaluation: Bohler’s angle – normal Gissane angle – normal Increased sclerosis in calcaneal body on MO No displacement

  7. IMAGING (cont.) Right foot CT Displaced?

  8. IMAGING (cont.) Left foot CT Displacement? Comminution?

  9. IMAGING (cont.) Spine X-Ray L2 compression fracture

  10. CLASSIFICATION ROWE CLASSIFICATION Type Ia – fracture of the inferior calcanealtuberosity

  11. CLASSIFICATION (cont.) ROWE CLASSIFICATION Type Ib – sustentaculumtali fracture

  12. CLASSIFICATION (cont.) SANDERS CLASSIFICATION IIIAC Medial edge of posterior facet (C) Through posterior facet (A)

  13. CLASSIFICATION (cont.) • Medial primary fracture line • Increased Sanders class • DecrasedBohler’s angle • CCJ involvement • Anterior and middle facet involvement •  increased severity Silhanek et al. The Effect of Primary Fracture Line Location on the Pattern and Severity of IntraarticularCalcaneal Fractures: A Retrospective Radiographic Study. J Foot Ankle Surg. 2006 Jul/Aug; 45(4): 211-219

  14. CLASSIFICATION (cont.) Centrally depressed fragment Increased Gissane’s angle

  15. MANAGEMENT What should be addressed? • Immobilization of non-displaced fracture • Reduction of joint depression and correction of Gissane’s angle and cortical strut • Restoration of height and width of calcaneus • Anatomic alignment of articular surfaces • Heel varus

  16. MANAGEMENT (CONT.) Right foot non-displaced fracture • Closed reduction (if necessary) • Immobilized with below-the-knee cast • Cast in mild inversion to take stress off the fracture • Early ROM of hallux to prevent adhesion of FHL to the sustentaculum during healing

  17. MANAGEMENT (CONT.) Left foot comminuted fracture • General anesthesia with popliteal block • Patient placed in lateral decubitus position with left side up • Minimal incision reduction with internal fixation • Fracture fragments anatomically reduced • Restore posterior facet and angle of Gissane • Four 4.0 cannulated screws

  18. MANAGEMENT (CONT.) POPLITEAL BLOCK

  19. MANAGEMENT (CONT.) MODIFIED OLLIER INCISION

  20. MANAGEMENT (CONT.) ORIF – Four 4.0 cannulated screws

  21. MANAGEMENT (CONT.) What was accomplished?

  22. MANAGEMENT (CONT.) Correction of Bohler’s angle

  23. MANAGEMENT (CONT.) Correction of angle of Gissane

  29. LITERATURE REVIEW (CONT.) DeWall et al. Percutaneous reduction and fixation of displaced intra-articularcalcaneus fractures. J Orthop Trauma. 2010 Aug;24(8):466-72.

  30. SUMMARY • Inspect for concomitant injuries and ensure patient is medically stable before definitive treatment / Inspect soft tissue • Obtain proper imaging that would aid in treatment decision making • Classify fractures to aid in surgical decision making and prognosis • Ensure proper anatomic alignment and employ stable/biologic internal fixation
