Abstract
Although uncommon, the management of ipsilateral pilon and calcaneal fractures is a challenging problem for foot and ankle surgeons. There are several issues that may affect the outcome. Aside from damage to the soft-tissue envelope, technical issues such as positioning of the patient, application of traction, and tourniquet time may complicate surgical intervention. The authors present their experience with 2 patients who sustained this fracture pattern and highlight the mechanism, management, and possible complications of these injuries.Entities:
