Management of Pilon Fractures

Abstract

Pilon fractures are complex injuries that can be difficult to treat and lead to severe complications if not managed appropriately. A thorough examination for polytraumatic injuries, neurovascular status, and skin condition should be done. A variety of approaches can be chosen based on fracture pattern, including staging, incisional approach, and no-touch technique. This article discusses various ways to manage pilon fractures.
