[12, 13, 14], Despite improvements in imaging, as well as a better understanding of the patterns of injury in complex fractures of the calcaneus, opinions on the management of such injuries continue to differ. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Subsequently developed classification systems based on CT appearances, such as the one Sanders described, appear to provide more reliable indicators of prognosis and are better able to select injuries that are particularly amenable to surgical intervention. Type II or beak fractures are uncommon. The Sanders classification system is used to assess intraarticular calcaneal fractures, which are those involving the posterior facet of the calcaneus.

The French surgeon described two types of fracture mechanisms: an avulsion injury resulting from muscular pull and a crushing injury. Compare minimally displaced calcaneal tuberosity fracture on patient's left side with comminuted intra-articular (Sanders type III) fracture on right. The purpose of this study was to assist surgeons treating calcaneal fractures in choosing the most predictive fracture classification and clinical outcome tool. Twelve observers classified 30 intra-articular calcaneal fractures according to the 3 most prevalent classification systems; interobserver reliability (kappa [kappa] statistic) and the. Soft-tissue involvement is an important aspect of calcaneal fracture assessment because it has been linked with poor functional outcomes. 5) From behind forward with dislocated STJ.
