Mean age was 43 years, and 80% were male. Open fractures and two-part fractures were more often treated percutaneously (26% vs 8%, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.03) and (49% vs 31%, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.02), respectively. Patients undergoing percutaneous fixation were more often tobacco users (58% vs 36%, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.04) and with history of alcohol and other substance abuse. Twenty-seven patients (29%) had 28 complications, including 21% with PTOA, with no differences based on type of treatment. Six patients had secondary procedures, with no difference based on type of treatment. Patients with open fractures (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.001) or tobacco abuse (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.005) were more likely to experience complications.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>No differences in complication rates were found for ORIF versus percutaneous fixation. Regardless of fixation technique, patients with open fractures or history of tobacco abuse were more likely to develop complications. Percutaneous reduction and fixation represents an alternative to extensile ORIF in terms of similar early and late complications, particularly in high risk patients.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Therapeutic Level III<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/oi9.0000000000000049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,20]],"date-time":"2019-12-20T18:49:53Z","timestamp":1576867793000},"page":"e049","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Early Complications Following Articular Calcaneus Fracture Repair"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Derrick M.","family":"Knapik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Hermelin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph E.","family":"Tanenbaum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heather A.","family":"Vallier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20230823","first-page":"360","article-title":"Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures","volume":"19","author":"Bajammal","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Orthop Trauma."},{"key":"R2-20230823","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"848","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2007.01.003","article-title":"Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures: 15-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial of conservative versus operative treatment","volume":"38","author":"Ibrahim","year":"2007","journal-title":"Injury."},{"key":"R3-20230823","first-page":"CD008628","article-title":"Surgical versus conservative interventions for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures","author":"Bruce","year":"2013","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev."},{"key":"R4-20230823","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1733","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200210000-00001","article-title":"Operative compared with nonoperative treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures: a prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter trial","volume":"84-A","author":"Buckley","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am."},{"key":"R5-20230823","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"171","DOI":"10.1007\/s12306-011-0114-y","article-title":"Controversies in calcaneus fracture management: a systematic review of the literature","volume":"95","author":"Dhillon","year":"2011","journal-title":"Musculoskelet Surg."},{"key":"R6-20230823","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1640","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2012.05.011","article-title":"Management of calcaneal fractures: what have we learnt over the years?","volume":"43","author":"Guerado","year":"2012","journal-title":"Injury."},{"key":"R7-20230823","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"551","DOI":"10.1097\/BOT.0000000000000169","article-title":"Operative treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures: long term (10-20 Years) results in 108 fractures using a prognostic CT classification","volume":"28","author":"Sanders","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Orthop Trauma."},{"key":"R8-20230823","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-199307000-00015","article-title":"Extensive intraarticular fractures of the foot.
