Abstrakt: Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of surgical treatment of Pilon fractures accompanied with fibula fractures with the improved double operative approaches.
Methods: Between January 2012 and June 2015, 19 patients with closed Pilon fractures accompanied with fibula fractures (Rüedi-Allgöwer type Ⅲ) underwent open reduction and internal fixation with improved anterior-median incision and posterior-lateral incision. There were 13 males and 6 females, aged 35 years on average (range, 23-68 years). Injury was caused by traffic accident in 11 cases, falling from height in 7 cases, and crash injury of heavy object in 1 case. According to AO/OTA classification, there were 4 cases of type C2, and 15 cases of type C3. According to Tscherne-Gotzen classification of soft tissue defect, 6 cases were rated as grade 1 and 13 cases as grade 2. The interval of injury and operation was 6-18 days (mean, 10.3 days). After operation, reduction of Pilon fracture was evaluated by the Burwell-Charnley radiological evaluation criteria, and the ankle joint function was evaluated by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score.
Results: The operation time was 1.8-4.6 hours (mean, 2.4 hours); the intraoperative blood loss was 200-500 mL (mean, 310 mL). All the 19 patients were followed up for 13.7 months on average (range, 12-18 months). The fracture healing time was 3.6 months on average (range, 2.5-8.0 months). Postoperative complications included anterior-median incision necrosis in 2 cases, traumatic arthritis in 2 cases, and ankle instability in 1 case. According to Burwell-Charnley radiological evaluation criteria, anatomical reduction was obtained in 15 cases and satisfactory reduction in 4 cases. According to AOFAS score, the excellent and good rate was 84.2% (excellent in 11 cases, good in 5 cases, and fair in 3 cases).
Conclusions: The improved anterior-median incision combined with posterior-lateral incision is a safe and effective method to treat complex Pilon fractures accompanied with fibula fractures, which has the advantages of simple operation, adequate exposure and minimal invasion.
