• ABSTRACT
    • Historically, the treatment and outcomes related to pilon fractures have been variable despite anatomical reduction and fixation. However, with the advent of newer implant technologies, improved surgical techniques, and the management via a staged protocol, results have indicated encouraging clinical outcomes with minimization of postoperative complications. This review focuses and outlines the current strategies, decision-making processes, and definitive treatment options regarding the notoriously difficult to treat pilon fracture.
