Sinus Tarsi Versus Extensile Lateral Approach for Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Intra-articular Calcaneus Fractures
This study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing the sinus tarsi approach
to the extensile lateral approach for surgical fixation of calcaneus fractures.
It is hypothesized that open reduction and internal fixation of intra-articular calcaneus
fractures using a sinus tarsi approach will provide equivalent fracture reduction and stable
fixation with significantly decreased wound complication rates in comparison to an extensile
lateral approach.
