“…9 The AO plate has been used with success in some series. 3,6 Kerr, et al, described their experience in 22 patients treated with the AO plate and felt the plate was a useful device for dealing with this complicated injury. 3 Sanders reviewed his results with 200 AO plates used for calcaneus fractures.…”

“…Over the past 10 years, various calcaneal plate designs have been used to provide optimal screw fixation patterns for calcaneus fractures. 3,4,6,9 Although specifically designed for calcaneal fractures, some of these have been complicated by a significant incidence of hardware breakage. 6 Recently, a new implant, a calcaneal perimeter plate (Depuy Ace, Warsaw, IN), has been developed with several unique design features (Fig.…”

Forty-two intra-articular calcaneus fractures underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a low profile, titanium plate with a shape similar to the lateral aspect of the calcaneus. All 42 fractures healed without complication. There were no cases of hardware breakage. None of the patients were noted to have a loss of reduction. The plates were applied without bending and molded to the side of the calcaneus with tightening of the screws. No patient complained of symptomatic hardware during the follow-up period. With postoperative plain radiographs, the reduction was judged as anatomic in 35 patients, less than a 2 mm step off in six patients, and one patient with greater than 2 mm step off. Use of this new plate allows for easy application as it does not require contouring, is well tolerated without complaints of hardware prominence, and none of the hardware broke prior to fracture union.

“…Numerous implants like small reconstruction plates, Hplates or double H-plates have been used on the calcaneus [6,29,30]. We prefer a specially designed titanium reconstruction plate that imitates the form of the calcaneus and allows screws to be placed wherever necessary [22].…”

“…Currently, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with metallic plates and screws is widely used in the surgical treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures [1]. Fixation with metallic plates and screws has been proven to be effective in providing enough stability for bone union.…”
