The Outcomes of Pilon Fracture Treatment: Primary Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Twostage Approach
Background: Pilon fracture is one of the challenging injuries in orthopedic surgery. Associated soft tissue injury is animportant factor in choosing treatment options. Two major methods of treatment are considered as one-stage openreduction internal fixation (ORIF) and two-stage treatment (primary external fixation and secondary ORIF). The latter ismost accepted in literature. In the current st...
متن کاملEffect of Lymphedema Treatment for Management of Acute Pilon Fractures.
Pilon fractures are high-energy injuries that often result in considerable edema and compromise of the soft tissue envelope of the ankle. These injuries are typically staged with an external fixator until the soft tissue is amenable for definitive fixation. This study was conducted to determine the effects of lymphedema treatment for the management of pilon fractures. Patients who underwent ope...
متن کاملDistal 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 کاملType C tibial pilon fractures
Results There were 102 type C pilon fractures in 99 patients, whose mean age was 42 years (16 to 86) and 77 were male. Primary open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) was performed in 73 patients (71.6%), whilst 20 (19.6%) underwent primary external fixation with delayed ORIF. There were 18 wound infections (17.6%). A total of nine (8.8%) were deep and nine were superficial. Infection was assoc...
متن کاملThe mid-term results of treatment for tibial pilon fractures.
BACKGROUND In this report, the surgical treatment results of distal tibia (pilon) fractures are analyzed radiologically and clinically. METHODS Between 2002 and 2009, 32 feet of 31 patients (25 males, 6 females; mean age 46 years; range 17 to 72 years) who were treated surgically for tibial pilon fractures were evaluated. Open reduction and internal fixation were applied to 24 and external fi...
