Five-Year Clinical Outcomes of Surgically Treated Different Types of Tibial Pilon Fractures

Background

Intra-articular distal tibial pilon fractures are most commonly caused by high-energy trauma and are often associated with severe soft-tissue injuries. The literature on medium-to-long-term clinical outcomes is limited. The purpose of this follow-up study was to evaluate the 5-year clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction among patients with different types of tibial pilon fractures.
