Minimally Invasive Treatment of Achilles Fracture with Arthroscopic Technique Using Type II Heel Nail-in-Nail System

Intra-articular calcaneal fractures are usually treated with traditional internal fixation involving a lateral widening incision followed by the use of calcaneal locking plates after resetting. While this method allows patients to return to work as soon as possible after the operation, it has several disadvantages. These include a large trauma caused by the L-shaped incision, the risk of skin necrosis, potential damage to the peroneal nerve during the operation, significant postoperative external adhesion, and limited mobility function. To avoid these complications, clinicians have started shifting towards minimally invasive internal fixation techniques.

Minimally invasive internal fixation has proven to be effective in treating patients with intra-articular fractures of the heel bone. It involves smaller incisions, utilizes X-ray fluoroscopy-assisted resetting, facilitates surgical operations, minimizes soft tissue stripping to protect the surrounding blood supply, and provides a favorable biological environment for soft tissue repair and fracture healing. This approach significantly reduces the incidence of adverse reactions and shortens the operation time. In recent years, ankle arthroscopy has also been increasingly used for diagnosing and treating intra- or extra-articular diseases of the foot and ankle. The application of arthroscopic technology in heel bone fractures, assisted by arthroscopy, brings new hope and direction to treatment. we are orthopedic implants manufacturer,website: https://www.doublemedicalgp.com
