Calcaneal Fracture Repaired via Sinus Tarsi Incision

47 yo male falls from tree stand.
Unremarkable pmhx aside from 1/2 ppd smoker.

Sinus tarsi incision is the ticket.

Nanoscope nicely aids reduction.

Its nice to get the calcaneus out of varus, but ultimately , its all about the joint surfaces.

The nanoscope allows easy access/visualization to the entire joint. Being able to show a patient the joint surface clinically is a nice practice adjuvant.

This patient healed great with zero incision healing issues.

@dkblacklidge taught me this technique – ideal for application at a county hospital. Its prevented need for flaps, I&D’s and surgeries that go with lat extensile.
