Application of medial column classification in treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures

Figure 1 A 53-year-old man with fall injury and right calcaneal fracture, Sanders type II. A-C: Preoperative images showing that the medial column was shortened, and the sustentaculum tali bone block and posterior nodule were tangled, which affected the reduction in the articular surface; D and E: The main fracture line was released during the operation, the medial column was reset, and the articular surface was reset after fixing with Kirschner wires; F-K: Postoperative images indicating that the medial column reduction was satisfactory, and the length, width, and force line of the calcaneus were effectively restored.
