Distal tibial pilon fractures (AO/OTA type B, and C) treated with the external skeletal and minimal internal fixation method.
BACKGROUND/AIM Distal tibial pilon fractures include extra-articular fractures of the tibial metaphysis and the more severe intra-articular tibial pilon fractures. There is no universal method for treating distal tibial pilon fractures. These fractures are treated by means of open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF) and external skeletal fixation. The high rate of soft-tissue complications asso...
متن کاملAWARD NUMBER: W81XWH-15-2-0087 TITLE: Pathomechanics of Post-Traumatic OA Development in the Military Following Articular Fracture PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR:
Patients with tibial pilon fractures have a higher incidence of post-traumatic osteoarthritis than those with fractures of the tibial plateau. This may indicate that pilon fractures present a greater mechanical insult to the joint than do plateau fractures. We tested the hypothesis that fracture energy and articular fracture edge length, two independent indicators of severity, are higher in...
متن کاملPrimary Ankle Arthrodesis for Severely Comminuted Tibial Pilon Fractures.
Management of severely comminuted, complete articular tibial pilon fractures (Rüedi and Allgöwer type III) remains a challenge, with few treatment options providing good clinical outcomes. Twenty patients with severely comminuted tibial pilon fractures underwent primary ankle arthrodesis with a retrograde calcaneal nail and autogenous fibular bone graft. The fusion rate was 100% and the varus m...
متن کاملMinimally invasive treatment of tibial pilon fractures through arthroscopy and external fixator-assisted reduction
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of tibial pilon fractures treated with arthroscopy and assisted reduction with an external fixator. METHODS Thirteen patients with tibial pilon fractures underwent assisted reduction for limited lower internal fixation with an external fixator under arthroscopic guidance. The weight-bearing time was decided on the basis of r...
متن کاملReduction strategies through the anterolateral exposure for fixation of type B and C pilon fractures.
The surgical management of pilon fractures has evolved over the last several years with treatment shifting from acute definitive fixation to delayed fixation. One of the driving forces behind this change was the high incidence of soft tissue complications in those patients with high-energy pilon fractures (Orthopaedic Trauma Association 43B and 43C) managed with acute stabilization. Meticulous ...
متن کاملPilon Fracture: A Case Report of a 45-Year-Old Dental Technician
Pilon fractures are complex and difficult-to-treat fractures of the lower extremity that account for about 1% of all lower extremity fractures and up to 10% of tibial fractures. The injury is caused by high energy axial load either from motor vehicle accidents or a fall from height. The treatment of these fractures has caused controversy among surgeons due to mixed outcomes. Here we report a ca...
