Abstract
Tibial pilon fractures are often associated to a high complications rate that makes it very difficult to anticipate long-term results. There is a direct relationship between the presence of radiographic signs of arthritis and poor long-term results. An excellent joint reduction does not guarantee the attainment of excellent long-term results; but it does lead to a higher probability of success.
