Comparison of non-operative and surgical treatment of displaced calcaneal fractures

Operative Versus Nonoperative Treatment of Displaced Intra-Articular Calcaneal Fractures

“…Robb et al 32 reported a higher SF-36 score after operative compared with nonoperative treatment of calcaneal fractures, whereas Buckley et al 19 and Kennedy et al 24 found no significant difference between the two treatments. In the present study, the SF-36 scores in the two treatment groups were comparable at one year of follow-up (Table II).…”

Salvage of Combat Hindfoot Fractures in 2003-2014 UK Military

“…15 Other studies examining the association between multiple variables and outcomes either confined their analyses solely to open or closed fractures or did not analyze these subgroups further. 3,5-8,11,14,16,20,26,27,30,32…”

Patient-reported health-related quality of life after a displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture: a systematic review

“…Five articles did not entirely fulfill the criteria for relevance; these studies included non-displaced calcaneal fractures or other foot/ankle fractures [ 36 , 42 , 49 , 52 , 57 ]. The majority of the articles did not provide all the patient characteristics of the population they have studied [ 7 , 27 , 28 , 32 – 34 , 37 , 38 , 40 , 44 – 54 ]. In the greater proportion of these studies, the associated injuries were not clearly described [ 7 , 27 , 28 , 33 , 34 , 37 , 38 , 40 , 42 , 43 , 47 – 51 , 53 , 54 , 56 – 58 ].…”

“…The complete mean crude scores per subdomain were presented in seven [ 7 , 8 , 37 , 38 , 41 , 42 , 46 ]; the other articles provided cumulative scores or did not report all the scores per subdomain. Ten articles provided a ‘total’ of SF-36 scores, which represents the mean score of all the eight subdomains of the SF-36 [ 28 , 32 , 34 , 36 , 39 , 43 , 44 , 49 , 50 , 54 ].…”
