Outcome of Type II and III (Sander's CT classification) fracture of the calcaneum who underwent open reduction and internal fixation was assessed. Thirty-three type II and III fractures of the calcaneum (all unilateral) underwent open reduction and internal fixation using the ‘extensile lateral approach’. There were twelve Type II and twenty-one Type III fractures. Patients were followed up for a mean of 40.81 months (Range 28 to 62 months). Patients were assessed clinically by the Creighton Nebraska Health foundation score for assessment of fractures of the calcaneum. Radiologically assessment was done comparing the pre and post operativeBohler's and Gissane angles and measuring the calcaneal width on the axial xrays.Background
