Abstract
- Techniaue of biologic fixation and external fifation are playing an crucial role in the management of the severe comminuted fracture with soft tissue injuries. To evaluate the treatment of severe pilon fracture by a conbination internal and external fixation, five high Pilon fractures with open or severs soft tissue injries were treated by a medial external fixator with an articulated ankle hinge(EBI) and limited internal flxation. Two AO C2 fractures and three AO C3 fractures were followed for a minimum of 1 year. All fractures united and had good functional results without any serious complication. We believe that external fixation and limited internal fixation using biologic principle is an excellent alternative method in high energy, complex fracture with diaphyseal comminution.
