Forty-five patients (group 1) had their pins placed without fluoroscopy assistance and thirty-seven patients (group 2) with fluoroscopy assistance. Five patients (11.1 %) in group 1 and seven patients (18.9 %) in group 2 had their pins placed outside the safe zone (</span></span></span></span><em>P =</em> 0.320). Distance of the hole from medial malleolus was mean 38.8 ± 7.9 mm for group 1 and 51.3 ± 8.32 mm for group 2 (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001), and distance from posteriormost point of calcaneus was mean 25.2 ± 6.3 mm for group 1 and 21.4 ± 7.9 mm for group 2 (<em>P</em> = 0.019). No neurovascular complications or calcaneal fracture were seen during follow-up. In conclusion, fluoroscopy guidance does not provide any additional benefit for placing calcaneal pins.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery","volume":"64 5","pages":"Pages 570-573"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
