Efficacy of the four-step fixed-base reconstruction method for Ruedi-Allgower Ⅲ Pilon fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rüedi-Allgöwer Ⅲ Pilon fractures represent extremely complex injuries with notable therapeutic challenges. Herein, we propose a novel, reliable, and reproducible method: the four-step fixed-base reconstruction method, performed via an internal plating-assisted single-incision anterolateral approach.

Method

A retrospective study was conducted on 168 cases with Rüedi-Allgöwer type III Pilon fractures treated using either the four-step base-fixed reconstruction method utilizing internal plating-assisted single-incision anterolateral approach (four-step reconstruction group) or the traditional double-plate fixation method (traditional group). Preoperative and postoperative length of stay, operation time, frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy, intraoperative blood lo
