Summary

Management of comminuted distal tibia fracture (pilon fracture) is still a challenging field. It is recently done guided by the new four column theory of distal tibia. Several approaches were advocated to address and fix each column. Fixation of posterior column is still a wide debate among orthopedic surgeons. This study is conducted to compare outcomes between two modalities for the management of posterior column fracture in pilon fractures.
