“…The ideal choice of treatment for displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures has generated controversy for more than a century [5,18,31,32]. There is evidence from numerous studies with large patient cohorts that anatomic restoration of the calcaneal shape and joint congruity predict higher functional scores [2-4, 10, 29, 32, 37, 41, 46] and a lower incidence of posttraumatic subtalar arthritis with potentially less need of secondary subtalar fusion [4,24,29,31,33,45] when treating these injuries.…”

“…In a review compiled in 1938, C.W. Goff of Hartford, Conn., described and illustrated more than 40 different operative treatment methods for displaced calcaneal fractures, most of which included some form of percutaneous reduction and skeletal traction [18]. The method of closed reduction with percutaneous pin leverage and subsequent plaster immobilization was introduced by the German surgeon Westhues in 1934 [42,43].…”

Percutaneous treatment of calcaneal fractures is intended to reduce soft tissue complications and postoperative stiffness of the subtalar joint. We assessed the complications, clinical hindfoot alignment, motion, functional outcome scores, and radiographic correction of percutaneous arthroscopically assisted reduction and screw fixation of selected, less severe fractures. We performed percutaneous reduction and screw fixation in 61 patients with Type II (Sanders et al.) calcaneal fractures. In 33 of 61 patients with displaced intraarticular fractures (types IIA and IIB), anatomic reduction of the subtalar joint was confirmed arthroscopically; these patients form the basis of this report. We observed no wound complications or infections. In two patients, one prominent screw was removed after 1 and 3 years, respectively. In one patient, arthroscopic arthrolysis was performed 1 year after the index procedure. Twenty-four of 33 patients (73%) were followed a minimum of 24 months (mean, 29 months; range, 24-67 months). The average American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot score at last followup was 92
