Arthroscopic-assisted percutaneous fixation of intra-articular calcaneal fractures using an intraoperative distraction device.

Arthroscopic-assisted percutaneous fixation using a distraction device is effective in achieving positive short-term results in the displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. A multicenter, large sample, randomized control trial is needed to fully evaluate the long-term effects of PDSA-CRIF in comparison to other methods.
