Comparison of External Circular Fixation and Plate and Screw Fixation Methods in Tibial Pilon Fractures.

 To compare the fixation methods for tibial pilon fractures among patients treated in a hospital.  We analyzed the medical records of 28 patients who underwent a surgical procedure for tibial pilon fracture, among whom 15 subjects received a circular external fixator, and 13 underwent internal fixation using a plate and screws. We assessed age, sex, aggravating factors, trauma energy (high or low), presence of soft tissue injuries, associated fractures, and clinical outcomes.
