Two-stage Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Single-stage External Fixation for Complex Intra-articular Distal Tibial Fractures : A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Two-stage Open reduction and internal fixation ( ORIF) using plates & screws and single-stage external fixation (EX.FIX.) with minimal internal fixation using cannulated screws if needed for Pilon Fracture. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to compare the clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes of two-stage open reduction and internal fixation with single-stage external fixation in the treatment of comminuted tibial pilon fractures.
