A 27-year-old male patient falls from a height of 2 m. Preoperative lateral (a) and axial (b) radiograph showed left calcaneus fracture with reduced Böhler angle (3°), length (80.1 mm), height (74.7 mm), and width (48.7 mm). The preoperative horizontal computed tomography image showed Sanders type IIB fracture. Steinmann pin retractor-assisted reduction with circle plate fixation via the sinus tarsi approach (c) was used. Postoperative lateral (d) and axial (e) radiographs show obvious correction of the Böhler angle (33°), and improvements in calcaneal length (84.7 mm), height (83.4 mm), and width (40.7 mm). The circle plate was removed (g, f) 17 months post-surgery, and AOFAS score was 87 at the last follow-up (h, i)
