A RARE COMPLICATION OF CALCANEAL FRACTURE – CALCANEAL NON-UNION. CASE REPORT

Abstract

The aim was to study published reports of postoperative intra-articular calcaneus fractures non-union complications after ORIF, determinate the main reasons for such complications and study the ways to improve the treatment results/ We retrospectively studied anamnestic data, medical history from 2018, and the treatment process of our patient in 2019- 2020 with calcaneus ORIF post-operative non-union. The patient was managed by secondary ORIF with autogenous bone marrow grafting after removal of broken retainers. At 6 months, the result was evaluated as good according to the AOFAS scale, (89–80 points for AOFAS). Non-union after calcaneus fracture ORIF management is an extremely rare complication. Controlled randomized trials with a larger sample size and longer follow-up are required for plausible evidence and systematization of treatment principles.
