Introduction

Tibial Pilon fractures are potentially limb threatening, yet standards of care are lacking from BOFAS and the BOA. The mantra of “span, scan, plan” describes staged management with external fixation to allow soft tissue resuscitation, followed by a planning CT-scan. Our aim was to evaluate how Tibial Pilon fractures are acutely managed.

Methods

ENFORCE was a multi-centre retrospective observational study of the acute management of partial and complete articular Tibial Pilon fractures over a three-year period. Mechanism, imaging, fracture classification, time to fracture reduction and cast, and soft tissue damage control details were determined.
