6 Definition High-energy fracture of distal tibial metaphysis Usually compressive injury / axial load Soft-tissue compromise Severe injury - Educate the patient early!

7 How do these occur?

8

9 Soft tissue compromise

10

11 Do not treat pilons like an ankle Immediate ORIF + Large plates =

12 Initial treatment Tetanus Antibiotics Sterile dressing Immobilization Associated injuries!

13 Next step: debridement Open injuries common Thin medial tissues Medial spike

14 Next step: debridement Open injuries common Thin medial tissues Medial spike

15 Debridement Deliver the bone ends!

16 Deliver bone ends Extend wounds longitudinally

17 Deliver bone ends Extend wounds longitudinally

18 Often more soft tissue injury than initially apparent

19 Often more soft tissue injury than initially apparent

20 Remove all foreign debris and devitalized soft tissue & bone

21 Check: Skin Subcutaneous tissue Muscle / tendon Fascia Periosteum Bone Major articular segments save?

22 Check: Skin Subcutaneous tissue Muscle / tendon Fascia Periosteum Bone Major articular segments save?

23 Check: Skin Subcutaneous tissue Muscle / tendon Fascia Periosteum Bone Major articular segments save?

24 Check: Skin Subcutaneous tissue Muscle / tendon Fascia Periosteum Bone Major articular segments save?

25 Do you fix the fibula initially? Yes if: It can be anatomically restored, and It will not compromise later ORIF

26 Do you fix the fibula initially? No if: It can t be anatomically restored, or It compromises later ORIF

27 When in doubt leave the fibula alone Don t burn your bridges Definitive plan usually not known at presentation CT performed after ex-fix Leave it like this!

28 Next Step: spanning ex-fix Decreases pressure on skin improves soft tissues Makes later ORIF easier (fx out to length) Gives you time for preop planning Gives you time for transfer if needed

29 Very difficult to preop plan Much easier!

52 Foot pins 1 st metatarsal

53 Foot pins Cuneiforms

54 Foot pins Talus

55 Foot pins Calcaneus

56

57

58 Why calcaneal pins? Pressure from splint

59 Why calcaneal pins? Pressure from heel on bed

60 Keep heel off bed! Prevent pressure ulcers!

61 When temporary spanning fixation isn t so temporary Patient lost to follow-up Medically unstable Skin condition never allows safe ORIF in a reasonable time frame (4-6 weeks) Significant comorbidities for ORIF Patient doesn t want further surgery

62 Does articular reduction matter? 3 independent examiners (Marsh, Nepola, DeCoster) Rank order list of 25 pilon fractures by severity Tried to correlate with arthrosis, outcomes DeCoster TA, FAI 1999

63 Does articular reduction matter? Ranked #1, 5, and 4 Ranked #24 DeCoster TA, FAI 1999

64 Does articular reduction matter? AOFAS 77 AOFAS 73 DeCoster TA, FAI 1999

65 Does articular reduction matter? AOFAS 77 AOFAS 73 Neither injury nor reduction correlated with outcome DeCoster TA, FAI 1999

66 Does articular reduction matter? DeCoster TA, FAI 1999

67 Does articular reduction matter? AOFAS 84 Injury severity correlated with arthrosis But arthrosis was not correlated with outcome! DeCoster TA, FAI 1999

68 Does articular reduction matter? Probably not as much as we think! DeCoster TA, FAI 1999

69 Spanning fixation as definitive treatment

70 Spanning fixation as definitive treatment

71 Spanning fixation as definitive treatment

72 Spanning fixation as definitive treatment 5 months in frame

73 Spanning fixation as definitive treatment 2 year follow-up

74 Usually wait approximately 2 weeks prior to ORIF

75 Swelling 6h 6d Time

76 Wrinkle sign ready for ORIF!
