DOI: 10.1186/s13018-022-02930-y
Abstract: Background Calcaneal fractures are associated with numerous complications and a poor prognosis with significant long-term quality-of-life issues, regardless of treatment. Therefore, in-depth research into the underlying mechanism of calcaneal fracture is still of great interest,… read more here.
