Abstract Background/Aims The purpose of this study is to evaluate risk factors of deep
infection following pilon fractures. Methods This investigation was performed after gathering …

OBJECTIVES: Pilon fracture is a complex injury that is often associated with severe soft
tissue damage and high rates of surgical site infection. The goal of this study was to analyze …

Objectives: To determine the risk factors for deep infection in OTA/AO 43C pilon fractures.
Design: Retrospective, case–control study. Setting: Single institution, Level 1 trauma center …

Objectives: To determine whether a particular surgical approach or combination of
approaches is a risk factor for infection. Design: Retrospective review. Setting: Two Level-1 …

Objective: To determine patient-specific and injury-specific factors that may predict infection
and other adverse clinical results in the setting of tibial pilon fractures. Design: Retrospective …

Objectives: To compare the deep infection rates after immediate versus staged open
reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for pilon fractures. Design: Retrospective cohort study …

Objectives In this study, we try to investigate the risk factors of postoperative surgical site
infection (SSI) in closed pilon fractures and establish a nomogram prediction model …

Objectives: To determine if overlap of definitive plate fixation with external fixator pin sites is
a risk factor for infection in pilon fractures. Design: Retrospective cohort. Setting: Level 1 …

Introduction Open pilon fracture management and treatment poses a significant challenge to
orthopedic surgeons. The purpose of this study was to determine patient outcomes for open …

Introduction Tibial pilon fractures are often treated with initial external fixation followed by
delayed definitive fixation. It has been postulated that the external fixator pin site may …
