Background  Minimally invasive surgery has become popular because of the lower incidence of wound complications. However, achieving an anatomic reduction that provides a satisfactory outcome is difficult using minimally invasive surgery. Our study aimed to evaluate the reduction and clinical outcomes of closed reduction and percutaneous fixation treatment using a closed reduction traction device for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures compared with traditional open reduction plate fixation using an extended lateral approach.    Methods  A total of 40 patients and 45 feet with calcaneus fractures from 2012 to 2016 were studied. The open reduction plate fixation group (24 feet) was compared to the closed reduction percutaneous fixation group (21 feet) with a traction device. The reduction assessments included length, width, height, Bohler’s angle, Gissane’s angle, and varus or valgus angle before and after surgery. The clinical outcomes included the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hindfoot score and the visual analog score for pain, length of stay, and complication rate.    Results  The patients were followed up for an average of 16.53 ± 3.95 months. No significant differences in reduction were observed between the open and closed groups ( P  > 0.05). The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scores of the two groups were 80.29 ± 6.15 and 83.62 ± 6.95 (open versus closed) ( P  = 0.0957). The visual analog scores of the open and closed groups were 1.50 ± 1.22 and 0.81 ± 0.87 ( P  = 0.0364). The lengths of stay in the open and closed groups were 9.63 ± 2.72 days and 6.71 ± 1.85 days ( P  = 0.0002). The complication rates of the open and closed groups were 20.8% (5/24) and 4.8% (1/21) ( P  < 0.0001).    Conclusions  The closed reduction percutaneous fixation with traction device method may provide equivalent reduction results and superior outcomes for the length of stay, VAS score, and complication rate for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
