“…19 Vascular and nerve complications are exceptional and related to the intensity of the initial trauma rather than the type of bone injury. 21 Early Complications -Soft tissue injuries (skin slough, wound dehiscence, skin coverage problems secondary to trauma or surgery). The degree of initial soft tissue injury, as well as the timing and methods of fracture stabilization, play an important role in the development of this type of complication.…”

Tibial pilon fractures represent only a small percentage of all fractures of the lower limb. But they are a feared entity, both for the interpreting radiologist and the treating surgeon and, ultimately, for the patient because they involve the weight-bearing area of the joint and often have associated soft tissue injury. These factors make them technically challenging, with poor clinical and functional results in many patients, even when a perfect joint reduction is achieved. Presurgical evaluation with computed tomography and individualized staged management is critical for the prognosis, a definitive treatment strategy, and the prevention of future complications.
