Abstract
PDF - Treatment of tibial pilon fractures is difficult to manage because of its comminuted pattern of the intra-articular fracture of the ankle, the articular incongruity, associated with soft tissue injury and its complication. The modern concept of fracture mordality are the open anatomical reduction, stable internal fixation with correct length of fibula and functional aftercare. We analyzed 17 cases which underwent open reduction and internal fixation for the tibial pilon fracture at the Korea Veterans Hospital from March 1990 to September 1996. 1. The most common type was type III according to Ruedi and Allgower's classification. 2. The treatment was open reduction and internal fixation in all cases and the results were above fair by Ovadia and Beals criteria in 16 cases. 3. The union of fracture was taken in all cases and the duration of union was average 14 weeks. 4. The most common complication was the limitation of ROM in the ankle joint.
