The use of dual C-arms during fixation of calcaneal fractures: a technique tip.

UNLABELLED: We describe a simple technique using dual C-arms (large and mini C-arm together) for open reduction internal fixation of calcaneal fractures in the lateral decubitus position that (1) decreases the difficulty of obtaining proper intraoperative imaging; (2) limits C-arm movement, which decreases risk of contamination and operative time; and (3) minimizes the drawbacks of each imaging fluoroscopic modality.

LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level V, Technical tip, Expert opinion.
