Objective:To evaluate the effect of reduction by leverage with minimally invasive and internal fixation with Ideal Compression Screw to treat fracture of calcaneus.Methods:13 patients(17 fee)twith fracture of calcaneus were treated by reduction by leverage with minimally invasive and internal fixation with Ideal Compression Screw.According to Sanders’classification
10 sides were classified as typeⅡfracture and 7 sides as typeⅢfracture.Results:The post-operative functional evaluation by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle score system revealed excellent outcomes in 12 feet(70.6%)
good in 3(17.6%)
fair in 2(11.8%).The excellent rate was 88.2%.Conclusion:Reduction by leverage with minimally invasive and internal fixation with Ideal Compression Screw to treat fracture of calcaneus is an effective and micro-invasive method in treatment of fractures of calcaneus.The technique can contribute to sta-ble fixation
low operation complication and high rate of excellent to good outcomes
