“…Mitkovic and colleagues [42] reported three cases of angulation deformity between 7°and 20°, no nonunion, and no deep infection in 28 AO/ASIF type C3 fractures that were treated with dynamic external fixation. Manca et al [30] saw no soft tissue infections and one nonunion in 22 patients who were treated with hybrid external fixation using hydroxyapatite-coated pins and percutaneous screw fixation after exclusively percutaneous reduction. Several investigators saw no deep infections after treatment of pilon fractures using a circular Ilizarov frame [22,23,34,43].…”

“…Immediate calcaneal traction on a Böhler-Braun frame is recommended by some investigators as initial treatment for all closed pilon fractures [26,30]; however, calcaneal traction does not provide adequate stabilization and applies tension to the soft tissues. Most investigators prefer the use of an external fixator for initial stabilization of high-energy tibial pilon fractures.…”

“…I risultati della fissazione esterna hanno fornito buoni esiti funzionali [15][16][17]. Le complicanze sono per la maggior parte correlate con le infezioni dei tramiti, variabili dal 10 al 20% dei casi [17].…”
