The primary stability of different implants for intra-articular calcaneal fractures: an in vitro study

Abstract Background Calcaneal fractures account for around 2% of all fractures and most of them are intra-articular fractures. Many implants have been used in the fixation of calcaneal fractures, but their biomechanical stability has not yet been well investigated. The aim of this study was to compa...
