ABSTRACT

Las fracturas de pilón tibial representan una de las fracturas más graves, no sólo por la complejidad de su tratamiento, sino también por las importantes secuelas que pueden originar. Además de que un importante porcentaje de éstas son abiertas o con importante afectación de partes blandas, lo que dificulta aún más su tratamiento. Se revisaron 37 pacientes con fractura de pilón tibial tratados de forma quirúrgica, analizando los resultados con la escala de valoración funcional FREMAP y con los criterios radiográficos de Burwell-Charnley. Aunque no existe consenso en relación al tratamiento ideal, parece evidente que el tratamiento combinado con fijación externa e interna con placa ofrece los mejores resultados.


Tibial pilon fractures are one of the most severe types of fractures, not only due to the complexity of their treatment, but also due to the important sequelae they may cause. Moreover, an important percentage of them are open fractures or importantly involve the soft tissues, thus making treatment even more difficult. Thirty-seven patients with tibial pilon fractures treated surgically were included in this study. The results of the FREMAP functional assessment scale were analyzed together with Burwell-Charnley's radiographic criteria. Although there is no consensus on which is the best treatment, it is evident that combined treatment including external and internal fixation with a plate provides the best results.
