Distal tibial pilon fractures (AO/OTA type B, and C) treated with the external skeletal and minimal internal fixation method
Background/Aim.Distal tibial pilon fractures include extra-articular fractures of the tibial metaphysis and the more severe intra-articular tibial pilon fractures.There is no universal method for treating distal tibial pilon fractures.These fractures are treated by means of open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF) and external skeletal fixation.The
