dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Treatment of tibia pilon fractures is challenging. Outcome after tibia pilon fractures depend on multiple factors. Aim of this study is to evaluate the potential variables that are known to affect the outcome after tibia pilon fractures. Patients and methods: Forty patients with 42 tibia pilon fractures with a one-year follow-up, who had undergone surgical treatment between January 2007 and June 2011, were evaluated, retrospectively. Patients were divided into 3 groups regarding the choice of surgical treatment (Group A-22 patients treated with open reduction-internal fixation; Group B-9 patients treated with mini-open reduction-internal fixation and external fixation; and Group C-11 patients treated with closed reduction-external fixation). Fractures were classified using Muller-AO and Ruedi/Allgower classifications. Quality of reduction was evaluated using Ovadia and Beals' criteria. All patients underwent functional assessment using AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale and Teeny-Wiss scoring system at the last follow-up. Results: Mean age of the patients was 49 (20-80). There were eight 43-B3, six 43-C1, twelve 43-C2 and sixteen 43-C3 fractures according to Muller-AO classification and ten type 1, ten type 2 and twenty two type 3 fractures according to Ruedi/Allgower classification. There were 15 (35.7%) open fractures. No statistically significant relation was found between quality of reduction and type of surgery. Also no significant relation was found between the type of surgery and functional scores. No significant correlation was found between functional scores and Muller-AO classification, but functional scores were found significantly worse in Ruedi/Allgower type 3 fractures. Functional scores were found significantly related to the quality of reduction. Early complications were seen in 22 and late complications were seen in 9 fractures. No statistically significant relation was found between complications, type of surgery and functional scores. Conclusion: The most important factor affecting outcome in surgically treated tibia pilon fractures was quality of reduction. Poor functional scores were found independent from the type of surgery and quality of reduction in Ruedi/Allgower type 3 fractures, which was characterized with articular surface comminution and metaphyseal impaction.
