Research Article: Three-Dimensional Heat Map: The OTA/AO Type C Pilon Fracture Lines Distribution

Date Published: 2024-01-30

Abstract:
Pilon fractures account for % of lower extremity fractures and are challenging to treat, which are caused by an axial high-energy impact on the distal tibial plafond, resulting in complex fractures and severe soft tissue injuries., For the present, AO/OTA (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association) classification is the most widely used classification to date, which is divided into types: A type extra-articular, B type partial articular, and C type total articular. Pilon fractures are defined as distal tibia fractures with joint involvement and refer to type AO/OTA B and C.
