A New Approach to Calcaneal Tuberocity Fractures

The ssex lopresity manoeuvre is a manoeuvre to manipulate the heel to increase the calcaneal varus deformity. With the valgus reduction, you will then stabilize the reduction with percutaneous k wires or open fixation. Now let's talk about arthoscopic assisted reduction and internal fixation. The benefit of this approach is decreased soft tissue dissection, preservation of local blood supply, removal of loose bone fragments and improved visualization of the articular surface and cartilage. These patients will be kept non waigt bearing for six to eight weeks post stop, with ankle range of motion exercises beginning two weeks post top note.
