Comparative StudyComparison between Percutaneous Screw Fixation and Plate Fixation via Sinus Tarsi Approach for Calcaneal Fractures: An 8-10-Year Follow-up Study.
To assess the long-term outcomes after percutaneous reduction (PR) and screw fixation versus plate fixation via the sinus tarsi approach (STA) for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF). ⋯ From the 8-10-year follow-up results of PR and STA as surgical procedures for the treatment of DIACF, it was found that there was no significant difference in the overall efficacy between them. STA was found to be superior to the PR in terms of the recovery of calcaneal width, providing more stable fixation for Sanders III fractures. PR was found to be more effective in reducing wound complications.

Comparative StudyRate and Risk Factors of Superior Facet Joint Violation during Cortical Bone Trajectory Screw Placement: A Comparison of Robot-Assisted Approach with a Conventional Technique.
To compare the incidence and risk factors of superior facet joint violation (FJV) during cortical bone trajectory screw placement in robot-assisted approach versus conventional technique. ⋯ A robot-assisted approach could reduce the incidence of FJV compared with the conventional approach in CBT technique.

Combined 3D Printed Template to Guide Iliosacral Screw Insertion for Sacral Fracture and Dislocation: A Retrospective Analysis.
To evaluate the accuracy and safety of a combined 3D printed guide template (combined template) to assist iliosacral (IS) screw placement for sacral fracture and dislocation. ⋯ Using the combined template to assist with the insertion of IS screws delivered good accuracy, less fluoroscopy and shorter operation time, and avoided neurovascular injury as a result of screw malposition.
