The hypothesis was that the sinus tarsi approach with limited incision provided good results comparable to other approaches. Methods A total of 78 patients (81 feet) surgically treated for articular calcaneus fracture were reviewed according to inclusion criteria: Sanders fracture type II-III, minimum follow-up of 2 years, patients aged 18-65 years. Exclusion criteria were smokers, diabetics, non-collaborative patients and patients with Sanders fracture type I and IV. A mean follow-up was 52.6 months. Radiographic changes of the Bohler&amp;#039;s angle were reported. For the clinical evaluation, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for calcaneal fractures, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and Maryland Foot Score (MFS) were used. Results A statistically significant restitution of B&amp;ouml;hler&amp;#039;s angle from preoperative to postoperative (13.5&amp;deg;-27&amp;deg;; p&amp;lt;.001) was found. The AOFAS and MFS showed pain relief and good\/excellent functional activities at the final follow-up in 65 of 78 (83.3%) patients. In eight (out of 81; 10%) feet a superficial wound infection was observed. In three (3.8%) patients a subtalar arthrodesis was performed. Conclusion The mini-invasive sinus tarsi approach for active adult population is a valid and reproducible technique with a low rate of major complications, but it is mandatory advice to patients regarding the expectation of the results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17392\/1282-21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,21]],"date-time":"2024-04-21T10:28:16Z","timestamp":1713695296000},"page":"322-327","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach in Sanders II-III calcaneal fractures in high-demand patients"],"prefix":"10.17392","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Paolo","family":"Ceccarini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Manfreda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosario","family":"Petruccelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Talesa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Rinonapoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Auro","family":"Caraffa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"49509","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","article-title":"Quality of reduction of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures using a sinus tarsi versus extensile lateral approach","author":"GBuselG","year":"2020.
