External Fixation and Limited internal Fixation in AO Tyep C Pilon Fracture -Report

Abstract
|
|
|
Techinque of biologic fixation and external fixation are playing an crucial role in the management of the severe comminuted fracture with soft tissue injuries.
To evaluate the treatment of severe pilon fracture by a combination internal and external fixation, five high pilon fractures with open or severe soft tissue injuries were treated by a medial external external fixator with an
articulated
ankle hinge(EBI) and limited internal fixation. Two AO C2 fractures and three AO C3 fractures were followed for a minimum of year. All fractures united and had good funotional results without any complication.
We believe that external fixation and limited internal fixtion using biologic principle is an excellent alternative method in high energy, complex fracture with diaphyseal comminution.
