Abstract
Eleven patients with tibial Pilon fractures have been treated operatively by using May anatomical bone plates. The patients were aged 36 to 74 years (mean, 57.0 years) and were followed up 3 to 23 months (mean, 11 months) after surgery. There were six patients (55%) in type I, two patients (18%) in type II, and three patients (27%) in type III Rüedi-Allgöwer fracture types. In five patients with type II or III fractures there were three (60%) good and two (40%) poor radiographical results. We concluded that anatomical reduction of the fibula and reconstruction of the articular surface of the tibia were necessary in the treatment of tibial pilon fractures.
