Fracture Reduction and Primary Ankle Arthrodesis: A Reliable Approach for Severely Comminuted Tibial Pilon Fracture

摘要

Posttraumatic arthritis and prolonged recovery are typical after a severely comminuted tibial pilon fracture, and ankle arthrodesis is a common salvage procedure. However, few reports discuss the option of immediate arthrodesis, which may be a potentially viable approach to accelerate overall recovery in patients with severe fracture patterns.
