Abstract：Objective To observe and compare the effects of electrocoagulation hemostasis, forceps hemo-stasis and compression hemostasis on the operative incision healing in calcaneal fracture patients.Methods From Dec.2012 to Dec.2015,60 patients with calcaneal fracture were treated.Among them 48 were male and 12 were fe-male ranged from 18 to 59 years(average,36.6 years).All cases (66 calcaneal fractures) were treated by open re-duction and internal fixation through L-type calcaneal lateral incision.Intra-operative hemostasis methods included the electrocoagulation hemostasis, forceps hemostasis and compression hemostasis. Indexes such as age, fracture classification,time from injury to operation,operation time,drying time and healing time of the incision,incidence of incision-related complications and Maryland foot function score among the 3 groups were recorded and statistically analyzed.Results The forceps hemostasis group was significantly better than the electrocoagulation hemostasis group and the compression hemostasis group in the drying time and healing time of the incision and the incidence of incision-related complications( P<0.05) ,while there was no significant difference between the electrocoagulation he-mostasis group and the compression hemostasis group(P>0.05) in the above 3 indexes.No significant difference was observed in Maryland foot function score among the three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Forceps hemostasis could significantly reduce the incidence of incision-related complications during the calcaneal fracture operation.
