Abstract

Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether the Sanders computed tomography (CT) scan classification was still prognostic for outcome when long-term (10-20 years) radiographic and functional data of patients after open reduction and internal fixation for Sanders type II versus type III displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs) were compared. The secondary purpose was to assess whether a bone graft or a locked plate was needed to maintain a reduction over time.
