Sinus tarsi approach versus extensile lateral approach for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture: a meta-analysis of current evidence base

Abstract: BackgroundThe extensile lateral approach (ELA) has been widely performed for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs), and wound complications remain a significant problem. As a minimal incision technique, the sinus tarsi approach (STA) was designed to overcome this disadvantage. There were already many reports about this approach but the conclusions were not completely consistent. Based on the current evidence, we performed this meta-analysis to compare the STA with ELA in the management of DIAC… Show more

“…The third patient was a delayed presentation at 8 months post surgery with uncontrolled sugars requiring debridement. Thus, though the wound complication rate appears to be lower than the reported recently in a large meta analysis of up to 16.5% in a conventional extensile approach, 22 a longer followup with a larger patient cohort would be required to confirm this apparent benefit in wound management.…”

“…For minimal invasive methods, it varies between 1.9% and 41.7% and for ORIF between 1.7% and 23.1%. [24] According to our data, six patients (4.54%) needed revision surgery. Five patients had subtalar arthrodesis, while one patient had lateral wall exostectomy.…”

“…Many doctors prefer to use minimally invasive surgery to treat freshly closed calcaneal fracture [1,2]. In this procedure, the surgeon often performs closed reduction of the fracture or open reduction with a small incision, in conjunction with percutaneous xation [3].…”
