A 42-year-old female patient suffered left lateral displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture caused by a fall from a height. Preoperative X-ray: lateral view (a) and axial view (b) showed significantly decreased calcaneal height/length, Bohler angle, Gissanes angle, and significantly increased calcaneal width. A preoperative CT-scan (c, d) showed a Sanders Type-II. A calcaneal fracture with collapse of the subtalar articular surface. Intraoperative fluoroscopy (e) showed the reduction of the subtalar joint surface through two Schanz pins that were used to lever and percutaneously push up the depression of the subtalar joint surface. The CSC was injected into the void of the body (f). Postoperative X-ray: lateral view (g) and axial view (H) showed calcaneal anatomical reduction. Postoperative CT-scan (i) showed the reduction of the articular surface was satisfactory, however, the restoration of calcaneal width was still dissatisfactory
