Two Plating Strategies Show Comparable Outcomes After Intra-Articular Calcaneal Fractures .
Does plate configuration influence recovery after intra-articular calcaneal fracture fixation? A retrospective study of 38 patients compared Combo and perimeter plates inserted through the sinus tarsi approach. Both constructs produced broadly comparable short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes, although final calcaneal width was smaller with perimeter plates. The findings suggest that both designs may be reasonable fixation options when fracture reduction is achieved. However, the small nonrandomized sample limits conclusions about comparative implant performance, complications and longer-term function.
