Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
The reamer-irrigator-aspirator as a device for harvesting bone graft compared with iliac crest bone graft: union rates and complications.
This study was performed to compare patient outcomes after Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator (RIA)-harvested bone grafting with the current gold standard, either anterior or posterior iliac crest bone graft (ICBG). ⋯ Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Open reduction and internal fixation compared with ORIF and primary subtalar arthrodesis for treatment of Sanders type IV calcaneal fractures: a randomized multicenter trial.
To compare long-term health outcome of Sanders type IV calcaneal fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus ORIF plus primary subtalar arthrodesis (PSTA). ⋯ Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Factors affecting long-term treatment results of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures: a post hoc analysis of a prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter trial.
To study the factors affecting long-term treatment results of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs). ⋯ Prognostic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether the Sanders computed tomography (CT) scan classification was still prognostic for outcome when long-term (10-20 years) radiographic and functional data of patients after open reduction and internal fixation for Sanders type II versus type III displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs) were compared. The secondary purpose was to assess whether a bone graft or a locked plate was needed to maintain a reduction over time. ⋯ Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
