Background

Traditionally, the extended lateral approach (ELA) was the favoured approch for calcaneal fractures, but has been reported to have high incidence of wound complications. There has been a move amongst surgeons in the United Kingdom towards the sinus tarsi approach (STA) due to its minimally invasive nature, attempting to reduce such complications.

Aims

To evaluate outcomes of ELA and STA for all consecutive calcaneal fracture fixation in our institution over a 10yr period.
