[A comparative study on internal fixation of calcaneal fractures assisted by robot and traditional open reduction internal fixation].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of robot assisted internal fixation and traditional open reduction and internal fixation for calcaneal fractures. METHODS: >0.05). The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, and fracture healing time were recorded and compared between the two groups. Before operation and at 6 months after operation, the Böhler angle and Gissane angle were measured on the lateral X-ray film, and the calcaneal width was measured on the axial X-ray film of the calcaneus to evaluate the recovery of the deformity and collapse after surgical treatment; the AOFAS score was used to evaluate the function of the affected foot and ankle joint. RESULTS: =0.003). CONCLUSION: Compared with traditional C-arm fluoroscopic internal fixation for calcaneal fractures, robot-assisted internal fixation via tarsal sinus incision for calcaneal fractures significantly improves the function of the affected foot and maintains the accuracy of nail implantation after fracture reduction, reducing intraoperative fluoroscopy times, and the fracture heals well.
