ABSTRACT
We conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare the radiological and clinical outcomes of Sanders type III calcaneal fractures treated with percutaneous prodding reduction and K-wire fixation via a sinus tarsi approach (PPRKF) versus open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Fifty-one patients with closed, unilateral, Sanders type III calcaneal fractures were randomly assigned to the PPRKF group (n = 26) or the ORIF group (n = 25). The clinical outcomes evaluated were time to surgery, blood loss, operative time, hospital stay, wound healing time, wound complications, and Maryland foot score. Radiological results were evaluated on lateral and axial X-rays and computed tomography images and included Böhler's angle, Gissane's angle, and calcaneal width. Compared with the ORIF group, the PPRKF group had shorter time to surgery, shorter operative time, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, shorter wound healing time, and fewer wound complications (p < .001). The postoperative Böhler's angle, Gissane's angle, and calcaneal width in both groups were significantly better than those measured preoperatively (p < .001) and did not differ between the PPRKF group and ORIF group (p> .05). Regarding clinical results, there was no significant difference in Maryland foot score between the two groups at 12 months after surgery (p > .05). Both PPRKF and ORIF can result in satisfactory clinical function. PPRKF is superior to ORIF in reducing the time to surgery, operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, wound healing time, and wound complications.
