Methods of Plating Achilles Fractures

The method of removing the plate for heel fracture is basically the same as that for internal fixation of fracture by incision, but in the opposite order. Under lumbar-rigid anesthesia, it is necessary to make an approach from the original surgical incision, and then gradually incise the skin, superficial fascia and deep fascia to reveal the plate of the heel bone, and then use the reamer to take out all the screws, and then finally take out the plate. It is important to note that anesthesia must be applied before the procedure can be performed, and all screws must be removed before the plate is removed. In addition, it is important to note that there will be some soft tissue surrounding the plate, which needs to be removed before the plate can be removed.
