An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A pilon fracture, is a fracture of the distal part of the tibia, involving its articular surface at the ankle joint. Pilon fractures are caused by rotational or axial forces, mostly as a result of falls from a height or motor vehicle accidents. Pilon fractures are rare, comprising 3 to 10 percent of all fractures of the tibia and 1 percent of all lower extremity fractures, but they involve a large part of the weight-bearing surface of the tibia in the ankle joint. Because of this, they may be difficult to fixate and are historically associated with high rates of complications and poor outcome.

dbo:abstract
  • En medicina, se denomina fractura de pilón tibial a un tipo de fractura de tibia que se caracteriza por afectar tanto a la epifisis distal como a la metáfisis del hueso, comprometiendo la articulación del tobillo. Es un tipo de fractura de gran complejidad y de pronóstico grave, existiendo dificultades para alcanzar la curación completa, pudiendo quedar secuelas permanentes.​​ Pilon es la palabra francesa para "mortero" y fue introducido en la literatura ortopédica en 1911 por el pionero radiólogo francés .​ (es)

  • Pilon fracture Pilon is the French word for "pestle"—an instrument used for crushing or pounding. In many pilon fractures, the bone may be crushed or split into several pieces due to the high-energy impact that caused the injury.  (en)
