What is The Outcome of Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures That Involve the Calcaneocuboid Joint about?

## Introduction: The outcome of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus is affected by many factors such as fracture type and age. the restoration and maintenance of the posterior facet is a priority and has a strong correlation with improved outcome. the fracture occasionally extends anteriorly to the calcaneocuboid joint (ccj). currently there is little literature discussing pain, functional or radiographic information about calcaneal fractures, which involve the ccj or those that do not. the aim of this study was to compare pain and functional outcome measurements in a cohort of calcaneal fractures treated operatively and non-operatively to determine whether ccj involvement was important. ## Patients and methods: A prospective database of calcaneal fractures managed by a single surgeon was reviewed. ct images allowed us to assess the degree of ccj involvement before and after surgery. final outcome was determined by pain (validated visual analogue score) and functional outcomes (sf-36) taken 2 years after injury with further ct imaging used to determine the presence of arthritic change at the ccj. 59 patients with 64 intra-articular calcaneal fractures were identifi
