摘要

Background

Calcaneal fractures are challenging to manage, with minimally invasive techniques aiming to reduce complications. Robotic-assisted surgery offers improved precision, reduced radiation exposure, and better screw placement.

Case presentation

An 85-year-old woman with a Sanders type III intra-articular calcaneal fracture underwent robot-assisted closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation using the Tirobot II system. The 50-minute procedure achieved accurate alignment and fixation, with rapid pain relief (VAS 10 to 3) and good functional recovery (AOFAS 90) at three months, without complications.

Conclusion

Robot-assisted minimally invasive treatment is effective for calcaneal fractures, providing precise reduction, faster recovery, and minimal complications. Further studies are needed to confirm its long-term benefits.
