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.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
