Calcaneal fractures are a challenging clinical problem. Management of this type of injury remains controversial, especially in the context of intra-articular fractures. Surgical treatment with open reduction and internal synthesis (ORIF) is considered the standard treatment for CF, but it is associated with many complications. Several minimally invasive techniques such as balloon-assisted reduction, pin fixation, and tricalcium phosphate augmentation have been proposed to avoid the frequent and recurrent postoperative problems related to these fractures. We retrospectively examined 20 patients (mean age was 54.5), all undergoing minimally invasive calcaneoplasty surgery at our Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology between 2012 and 2016. X-ray and CT scan were performed preoperatively and at 5 years of follow-up (57.9 ± 6 months). The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was used for clinical examination, and the Short-Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36) score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to assess the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). All 20 patients were available at the final follow-up. The mean AOFAS score was 82.25/100. The VAS results attest an overall average of 2.7/10 (0–9). The average of the parameters “Physical Health” and “Mental Health” was, respectively, 81.25 and 83.55. In terms of postoperative complications, we observed no cases of superficial or deep infections. Clinical response after balloon-assisted reduction, pin fixation, and tricalcium phosphate augmentation has shown a comparable or better outcome according to the AOFAS and VAS score. Quality-of-life scores, obtained according to the SF-36 questionnaire, are considered high. From both a clinical and quality-of-life point of view, our study highlights that there is not gender distinction. Further comparative studies with a higher number of patients are needed which assess the quality of life in the various techniques used to treat calcaneal fractures.

Abstract Background Risk of surgery is among the highest-rated concerns among Crohn’s disease (CD) patients. Quality of life is often worsened by intestinal surgery. This study aimed to assess the possible predictors of long-term quality of life after minimally invasive surgery for ileal, colonic or ileocolonic CD. Methods Data of all the 72 consecutive patients operated from 2010 to 2018 for CD were retrieved and 72 patients who had ileal, colonic or ileocolonic resection were selected and interviewed with the Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL) questionnaire and the Body Image Questionnaire (BIQ). Disease activity was defined as the Harvey–Bradshaw Index (HBI). Comparisons between laparoscopic and open groups were carried out with non-parametric tests and log-rank test. Results Seventy-two patients who had laparoscopic ileal, colonic or ileocolonic resection and had a follow-up greater than 1 year were interviewed. The total CGQL score was associated with clinical disease activity at the moment of the interview (rho = −0.61, p < 0.0001) and to the presence of extraintestinal complication (rho = 0.28, p = 0.03). At multivariate analysis, disease activity at the moment of the interview and the presence of extraintestinal complication confirmed to be independent predictors of long-term quality of life. Conclusion Long-term quality of life after minimally invasive intestinal surgery is essentially predicted by current disease activity. Thus, it is crucial to prevent clinical CD recurrence

Introduction: Flexible flatfoot is common amongst children, although treatment is rarely indicated. The calcaneo-stop procedure has been reported to be effective in short-term studies. We aim to evaluate the long-term outcomes of the calcaneo-stop procedure in the treatment of flexible flatfoot in children.Material and Methods: Twenty-six calcaneo-stop procedures performed between 1995 and 2006 on 13 patients were evaluated clinically and using photopodoscopy, and the FAOS questionnaire was applied for both feet.Results: Of the 26 feet evaluated, 22 presented with heel valgus, 13 had forefoot supination and 11 had abnormal footprints. Median FAOS questionnaire score was 97.22 for ‘Pain’, 92.86 for ‘Other symptoms’, 98.53 for ‘Function in daily living’, 100 for ‘Function in sports and recreation’ and 93.75 for ‘Foot and ankle-related quality of life’.Discussion: The calcaneo-stop procedure is the least invasive and most simple surgical treatment for symptomatic flexible flatfoot in children. Short-term studies report excellent clinical and radiographic results. The authors report alterations in clinical parameters in a large proportion of patients. These findings can be due to biomechanical alterations in the years following removal of the screw. Patient foot and ankle-related satisfaction data is promising, although hard to evaluate given the absence of preoperative data.Conclusion: Larger, prospective, controlled studies are required to better evaluate the long-term success of this procedure.
