A Minimally Invasive Reduction and Synthesis Method for Calcaneal Fractures: The Brixian Bridge Technique

Calcaneal fractures are difficult to treat because of their often-related sequelae. The authors present a simple, rapid, economic, and easy-to-perform technique that uses percutaneously positioned Kirschner wires plus a plaster cast for the reduction and stabilization of certain calcaneal fractures. A review of the relevant literature is also provided. (The Journal of Foot &Ankle Surgery 48(1):85-88, 2009)
