Similar Anatomical Reduction and Lower Complication Rates With the Sinus Tarsi Approach Compared With the Extended Lateral Approach in Displaced Intra-Articular Calcaneal Fractures

Objectives:To investigate whether the sinus tarsi approach (STA) allows for a similar anatomical reduction of the posterior talocalcaneal facet as the extended lateral approach (ELA) and compare the rate of postoperative wound complications.Design:Retrospective.Setting:Level 1 trauma center.Patients
