[Treatment of complex calcaneal fractures under computer navigation: report of 130 feet].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of computer navigation in the treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.


METHODS
130 feet in 110 patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures, 57 calcanei with fracture of Sander's type II, 45 of type III, and 28 cases of type IV, were treated with internal fixation under computer navigation, and were followed up for 16.3 months (6 - 24 months).


RESULTS
According to the Maryland Foot Score system, excellent result was noted in 63 feet, good result in 57 feet, and fair result in 10 feet, with the excellent and good rates being 92.31% together.


CONCLUSIONS
Using computer navigation to treat intra-articular calcaneal fractures is one of the best ways for treatment of calcaneal fractures.
