Abstract Background: Minimally invasive reduction and fixation techniques via a sinus tarsi approach (STA) have been developed in an attempt to avoid the potential complications associated with an extensile lateral approach (ELA) and to be less invasive Objective: Minimally invasive approach including sinus tarsi approach (STA) in displaced intra articular calcaneal fracture displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF) with reference to: Change from baseline in calcaneal height, change from baseline in calcaneal width, change from baseline in calcaneal length, change from baseline in Bohler angle, change from baseline in Gissane angle. Methodology: This meta-analysis was carried out in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews of Intervention and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines to answer the question of minimal invasive of lateral sinus tarsi in displaced intra articular calcaneal fracture. The study protocol was registered into the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews on September 09, 2020 with a registration number (PROSPERO: CRD42022359197). Results: Running our search strategy on PubMed 69 studies , and the Cochrane library resulting in 221 studies and trials. We discarded 12 studies after screening the title and abstract. Then we screened 18 studies to assess their eligibility for inclusion; and in last 10 years. The total sample size for this meta-analysis was 12 participants. 484 patients who completed STA surgery and 514 patients completed ELA surgery. Data Sources: Medline databases (PubMed, cochrane) and all materials available in the Internet till 2023. Conclusion: In conclusion, using the minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach (STA) is associated with a significant change in calcaneal height and Gissane angle when compared to extended lateral approach (ELA) when used to manage the displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF). |
