Arthroscopic treatment in split depression-type tibial pilon fracture

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Traumatology
• Arthroscopy

Background:

• Tibial pilon fractures present complex treatment challenges.
• Depressed fractures require careful consideration of surgical techniques.
• Minimally invasive approaches are sought to reduce surgical invasiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe a technique for arthroscopically assisted treatment.
• To address split depression tibial pilon fractures specifically.

Main Methods:

• Arthroscopically assisted surgical reduction.
• Technique for split depression tibial pilon fracture.

Main Results:

• The described technique facilitates arthroscopic management.
• Minimally invasive reduction of depressed fragments is achieved.

Conclusions:

• Arthroscopic-assisted treatment is a viable option for split depression tibial pilon fractures.
• This technique offers a less invasive alternative for complex tibial pilon fractures.
