No agreement among different authors about either the ideal fixation method or which technique is minimally invasive. The aim of this study was to compare functional and radiographic outcomes of two minimally invasive techniques in treatment of Sanders type II and III DIACFs by using K-wires or cannulated screws without bone grafts.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on 28 patients (34 feet) with Sanders type II or III DIACFs, treated by closed reduction and fixation using cannulated screws or K-wires, at the Orthopedics Department of Sohag University Hospital, between April 2020 and February 2022. Functional assessment was done by American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and VAS for pain. Radiographic assessment was done by measurement of three calcaneal angles (Gissane, B\u00f6hler\u2019s, and posterior facet inclination angles) and three calcaneal distances (height, length, and width of the calcaneus).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Mean ages of patients at the time of operation were 34.8\u00a0years for the cannulated screw group and 36.6\u00a0years for the K-wire group. A vast majority of patients were males (78.6%). Involvement of the right side in the cannulated screw group was 57.1% and that in the K-wire group was 47.9%. Mean operative time was significantly shorter among the K-wire group (42\u00a0min) compared to the cannulated screw group (57\u00a0min). Mean AOFAS score was higher among the cannulated screw group (85.9 points) compared to the K-wire group (75.8 points). Final VAS was significantly better among the cannulated screw group compared to the K-wire group. Mean time of radiographic union in the cannulated screw group was 8.9\u00a0weeks and that in the K-wire group was 10.1\u00a0weeks.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Both techniques avoided wound complications associated with ORIF with the advantage of a shorter hospital stay. Patients in the cannulated screw group had better functional and radiographic outcomes and a lower rate of subtalar arthritis than patients in the K-wire group. K-wires had advantages of reduced operative time, and easy removal as an outpatient procedure.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-022-05521-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,12]],"date-time":"2022-08-12T04:02:54Z","timestamp":1660276974000},"page":"2667-2683","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A prospective comparative study between percutaneous cannulated screws and Kirschner wires in treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Hossam","family":"El-Azab","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khalaf Fathy Elsayed","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdelrahman Hafez","family":"Khalefa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashraf Rashad","family":"Marzouk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"5521_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"321","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fas.2016.10.004","volume":"23","author":"H Haapasalo","year":"2017","unstructured":"Haapasalo H et al (2017) Epidemiology of calcaneal fractures in Finland.
