“…It should be noted that the cases in the current study included both classical pilon fractures (AO/OTA 43-B and 43-C) and special ankle fractures (AO/OTA 44-C), although strictly speaking, it might not be appropriate to discuss the fractures as a whole. Sometimes ankle fractures involving the distal tibial plafond are caused by a combined injury mechanism, which typically leads to a confusing classi cation of the fracture, such as a "logspatter" injury [16] versus an atypical pilon fracture, as well as a posterior malleolus fracture versus a "posterior pilon" fracture [17]. We would like to use the words "fractures involving the distal tibial plafond" rather than "tibia pilon fractures" to describe the confusing ankle fractures in the present study.…”

“…All cases of posterior pilon fracture treated by surgical reduction through the extended modified posteromedial approach or posterolateral approach in combination with fixation with a buttress plate at the Department of Orthopedic Trauma of Jining Medical College between January 2015 and December 2018 were reviewed. Patients aged ≥ 18 years, with good ankle movement prior to injury, and a new closed fracture corresponding to the imaging characteristics of posterior pilon fracture [7] (distal tibial fracture line extending along the coronal plane into the posterior colliculus or even the anterior colliculus, with or without the "double contour sign" of the proximal medial malleolus, the posterior malleolus displaced proximally, and the margin of the bone mass compressed and fragmented; Die-punch bone masses, with or without subluxation of the posterior talus, were also present) were included. Patients with pathological fractures, associated neurovascular injuries, a history of ankle disease or serious trauma prior to injury, and a follow-up < 12 months were excluded.…”
