[Study on Holosight robot-assisted fixation versus fixation via sinus tarsi approach in treatment of calcaneal fractures].

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Holosight robot-assisted percutaneous reduction and internal fixation versus reduction and internal fixation via sinus tarsi approach in treatment of calcaneal fractures. Methods: >0.05) in age, gender, affected side, fracture classification, the interval between fracture and operation, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association (AOFAS) score, calcaneal morphological parameters (length, width, height, Böhler angle, Gissane angle). The two groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, screw (guide wire) adjustment times, initial screw (guide wire) implantation success rate, incidence of complications, and the differences in calcaneal morphological parameters, pain and functional outcomes (VAS and AOFAS scores) between pre- and post-operation. Results: >0.05). Conclusion: Compared with the operation via sinus tarsi approach, Holosight robot-assisted percutaneous reduction and internal fixation for calcaneal fractures demonstrates superior safety and effectiveness, as evidenced by shortened operation and hospital stay, reduced intraoperative blood loss and the fluoroscopy frequency, improved screw placement accuracy, enhanced postoperative functional recovery.
