Although non-locking calcaneal plates are designed to treat calcaneal fractures, they present some interesting characteristics that justify using them beyond their current application in fractures of the foot. Calcaneal plates are malleable, have an increased footprint area for fracture containment or buttressing, and present several hole options for screw placement in different trajectories, thereby providing proper fixation even in comminuted fracture patterns. The aim of this study is to describe the unconventional use of calcaneal plates in the orthopaedic trauma scenario.
虽然非锁定跟骨钢板被设计用于治疗跟骨骨折，但它们具有一些有趣的特点，使其在目前用于足部骨折之外的情况下也具有应用价值。跟骨钢板具有柔韧性，增加了用于骨折固定或支撑的足迹面积，并提供了多个用于螺钉以不同轨迹放置的孔选项，从而即使在粉碎性骨折模式下也能提供适当的固定。本研究的目的是描述在矫形创伤情况下非锁定跟骨钢板的非常规应用。
