Abstract:
This article presents a case of a tibial pilon fracture following a motor-vehicle accident. It discusses the main classification system and mechanism of injury for such fractures and emphasizes an alternative form of treatment of the usually suggested ankle fusion: an arthrectomy, which allows motion, thereby salvaging the ankle joint.
