Objectives: evaluate the outcome of closed reduction and percuta To neous fixation by multiple K calcaneal fractures. Methods:wires in closed intraarticular This prospective Quasi experimental study was conducted in all patients attending at emergency and outpatient department in National Institute of Traumatology & Or thopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh during July 2010 to June 2012. A total of 15 patients with intra articular calcaneal fractures managed by close reduction and multiple k wires fixation. Postoperative followed up for an average period of 1months. Result: 2 According to Maryland foot score, out of 15 patients 2 patients had excellent, 6 patients had good, 1 patient had fair and 6 patients had poor result. Conclusion: percutaneous kwires Close reduction and minimal internal fixation through is an effective treatment for the carefully selected cases for displaced intra articular calcaneal fractures.
