SICOT 2023: Sinus Tarsi vs Lateral Extensile Approach in Calcaneus Sander II & III .
Sinus Tarsi vs Lateral Extensile Approach in Fracture Calcaneus Sander II and III. A Randomized Controlled Trial
180 patients with calcaneus fractures (Sanders II and III) were randomized to receive either the sinus tarsi (n=90) or extensile lateral (n=90) approach.

The sinus tarsi approach showed significantly better clinical outcomes with a lower incidence of wound complications.
