2010 Minimally invasive locked plating of distal tibia fractures is safe and effective CORR Open Access

Distal tibial fractures are difficult to manage. Limited soft tissue and poor vascularity impose limitations for traditional plating techniques that require large exposures. The nature of the limitations for traditional plating techniques is intrinsic to the large exposure required to approach distal tibia, a bone characterized by limited soft tissue...

Ankle Arthrodesis Using Antegrade Intramedullary Nail for Salvage of Nonreconstructable Tibial Pilon Fractures Ortho Supersite

The treatment of nonreconstructable tibial pilon fractures for which the optimal timing for reduction and fixation has been missed is challenging. Ankle arthrodesis may be a treatment option in such cases. We treated 2 patients with nonreconstructable tibial pilon fractures using ankle arthrodesis with an antegrade intramedullary nail. Our method...

Distal Tibial Plafond Fractures

High energy intraarticular fractures of the distal tibia (tibial plafond fractures, or pilon fractures) present a great challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. These injuries often result in a significant soft tissue damage, comminution of bone, and disruption of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. The treatment strategy used in dealing...

Pilon Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Pilon fractures in the distal tibia result from axial forces that can range from low to high energy and produce a spectrum of articular and metaphyseal injuries. These can be challenging to manage, especially when associated with significant soft tissue injury. Although a variety of options are available to treat...

The early management of severe tibial pilon fractures using a temporary ring fixator

Background: The management of pilon fractures of the distal tibia is fraught with complications. Poor initial management leads to a poorer outcome. Protection of the soft tissue envelope is paramount and to achieve this objective early fracture reduction, restoration of leg length and elevation are important principles in the management...
