Key Points

  • Strong union rates of 94.0% were observed among patients with distal epimetaphyseal fractures of the tibia, indicating effective surgical treatment.
  • 79.1% of patients achieved excellent functional outcomes with AOFAS scores ≥ 80 points at 12 months, showcasing successful recovery.
  • Retrospective analysis across 67 patients treated for pilon fractures revealed significant advantages of internal fixation over external fixation.
  • Findings highlight the challenges of treating type C pilon fractures, emphasizing the need for optimal surgical strategies.
