Abstract

      Background: Displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures are still now a controversial topic among orthopedic surgeons. There is no single treatment option to manage all different fractures. Objective: The aim of this study was the assessment and evaluation of providing and maintaining stable fixation by the use of a T-shaped plate for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Patients and Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted on18 patients were conducted between the ages of 18 to 50 years in the Orthopedic and Traumatology Department of Zagazig University Hospital from August 2020 to April 2021 including 6 months follow-up periods, all patients with closed D.I.A.C.F with no morbidity. T plates were the method of fixation for all patients. Results:Mean A.O.F.A.S. hindfoot scale result was 86.61, 88.8% of patients their results were satisfying (excellent and good), and 11.1% of patients their results were unsatisfying (fair). Complications were seen in 27.7% (wound complication, subtalar arthritis, symptomatic hardware, and delayed union). Conclusion: T-shaped plates can provide stable support and rigid fixation as they maintain proper reduction and alignment to displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures.
