Abstract
Our meta-analysis suggests that MI and ELA are equally effective treating Sanders type II and III fractures. However, MI is effective in improving the AOFAS score (Sanders type II); reducing the rate of wound complications; and shortening the time to surgery, duration of surgery and length of hospital stay. Keywords: calcaneus fracture; minimally invasive; Meta-analysis.
