In this report, the surgical treatment results of distal tibia (pilon) fractures are analyzed radiologically and clinically. ⋯ If the principles of atraumatic soft tissue dissection, anatomic reduction of the joint face, stable fixation, and early mobilization of the patient are complied with in the surgical treatment of pilon fractures, successful results can be achieved. However, in type 3 fractures, even if these principles are complied with, post-traumatic arthritis is inevitable.
