Intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia: Current concepts of management

[摘要] The treatment of fractures of the distal part of the lower leg (particularly with involvement of the distal tibia articular surface) is challenging for orthopaedic surgeons and often leads to serious complications such as infection, malunion, nonunion and post-traumatic arthritis. The published results are often difficult to compare because of significant heterogeneity of bone and soft-tissue injuries, the small number of patients in reported series, the retrospective nature of many investigations and the absence of a control group in most studies.
