Clinical application of the sinus tarsi approach in the treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fracture
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To observe the clinical outcome of the sinus tarsi approach in the operative treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.Forty-nine intra-articular calcaneal fractures in 45 patients were managed surgically with sinus tarsi approach. The anatomical plate and compression bolts were applied in 14 feet. The anatomical plate and screws were applied in 35 feet. Maryland foot score system was used to evaluate the function of the hindfoot at the followup.The reduction of the posterior facet was graded as nearly anatomical (less than 2 mm articular displacement) in 46 feet (93.9%). The width, height, and Böhler angle were significantly improved in all patients (P < .01). After a mean follow-up period of 18.7 months (14.5-29 months), the Maryland foot scores were: 34 feet scored 90-100 points (excellent), 6 feet scored 80-90 points (good), 6 feet scored 70-80 points (fair), and 3 feet scored 60-70 points (poor). Incision-edge necrosis occurred in 2 cases. One case suffered from incomplete medial plantar nerve injury. One case suffered from heel pad branch of the tibial nerve injury. Six cases suffered from sural nerve injury, and 4 cases sustained a lateral wound dehiscence due to a hematoma. No case suffered from lateral impingement syndrome. Up to now, no patient had to accept subtalar arthrodesis.Sinus tarsi approach provides good exposure to the subtalar joint. Open reduction and internal fixation of calcaneus fractures through a sinus tarsi approach allows adequate reduction with low risk of wound-healing complications.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
