“…The collapse of the distal tibial articular surface in pilon fractures is caused by axial force, and intra-articular damage is severe in patients with osteoporosis ( 69 ). The four classical principles of pilon fractures treatment are as follows: restoration of fibular length, reconstruction of tibial articular surface, autologous bone grafting, and application of buttress plates ( 70 ).…”

“…Previous studies revealed not only fewer complications of INs compared to standard plate osteosynthesis but also an equal functional outcome ( 37 , 38 ). Intramedullary nailing bears the advantage of immediate full weightbearing and provides the same biomechanical stability compared to a lag screw in combination with a locking plate ( 39 , 40 ). A systematic review with 627 patients treated with a locked IN stated a consolidation rate of 98% with an infection rate of 1% and skin necrosis in 0.6% ( 41 ).…”

“…Closed reduction and nail fixation (CRNF) is an alternative minimally invasive treatment option for ankle fractures [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Less frequent complication rates [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ] and the immediate possibility of full weightbearing postoperatively [ 18 , 22 ] seem to be the advantages of CRNF.…”
