Functional Outcome Of Delayed Anterolateral Plating For Tibial Pilon Fractures

Abstract BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: The Management of Tibial pilon fractures have always been perplexing. Our study was planned to evaluate functional outcome of delayed anterolateral plating for tibial pilon fractures by assessing the range of motion of ankle along with pain and affection in the activities of daily living.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective observational study was done for 45 patients with tibial pilon fracture, for whom delayed anterolateral plating was done in Orthopaedics department of Government medical college, Thiruvananthapuram. The study was conducted at 6 months of follow up after surgery is done. Data collected using a structured proforma. The evaluation of results is based on scoring system given by kaikkonen ankle score
RESULTS: Functional outcome was assessed at 6th month follow up using kaikkonen ankle score. The mean age of the patients was 38.53(19-72) and among them 52.78% had right side affected. 37.78% had excellent functional outcome and 51.11% had good functional outcome at the end of 6 months. Best functional outcome was obtained in Ruedi Allgower type 1 fractures. Wound related infections were noted in 6.7% cases who had significantly poor functional outcome
CONCLUSION: Hence delayed anterolateral plating greatly improves the functional outcome in patients with tibial pilon fractures and allows for earlier mobilization and prevents complications like malunion.
