AbstractAlthough open reduction and internal fixation for treating displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures remain common, difficulty obtaining and maintaining both calcaneal morphology and subtalar articular surface reduction remain. In addition, open approaches induce a significant risk of wound-healing complications. For this reason, closed manipulation to restore calcaneal morphology, intra-osseous fracture reduction, and rigid locked nail fixation was developed and validated for clinical use. Conversion to an immediate primary or delayed reconstructive subtalar joint arthrodesis using the same instrumentation remains unique to this system. This article reviews the CALCANAIL surgical technique for performing operative fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
