Fourteen displaced intra-articular fractures of the os calcis are reviewed following open reduction and internal fixation using a lateral approach with an average follow-up of 22 months (range, 12 to 44 months). Postoperative management consisted of early subtalar motion with delayed weightbearing. Twelve of 14 fractures were considered good results on the basis of no pain, 50% normal subtalar motion, and near-normal anatomy. Pain correlated with incomplete reduction of the superomedial fragment and, thus, incongruent reduction of the posterior facet in two cases. The importance of effecting a reduction of the superomedial border of the os calcis is emphasized.

Background: Distal radius fractures are a common injury and without proper treatment leads to high functional impairment and frequent complications. Objective: The aim of this study was to see the functional outcome in patients with comminuted distal radius fractures treated with combined external fixation and open reduction with volar plating. Materials and methods: All comminuted distal radius fractures classified as type C in AO/OTA classification were enrolled for the study from 2005 till 2008. The clinical scoring chart modified by Cooney was used to evaluate the functional outcome. Results: There were twenty-two patients with the average age of 42.18 years (range 19-60) with 15 male and 7 females. The follow-up period was from 14 to 46 months. Accordingly, there were 11 (50%) excellent, 7 (31%) good, 2 (9%) fair and 2 (9%) poor results. There were very few complications in our series. In three patients additional K-wire supplementation was necessary along with external and open internal fixation. Conclusions: Comminuted intra-articular fractures of distal radius should be treated by open reduction and combined internal and external fixation to achieve a high rate of patient satisfaction and satisfactory functional outcome.
