To determine the outcomes after acute versus staged fixation of complete articular tibial plafond fractures.
Retrospective cohort study.
Single Level 1 Trauma center.
98 skeletally mature patients with OTA/AO 43C type fractures who underwent definitive fixation with plate and screw constructs and had a minimum 6 months of follow-up.
Acute open reduction internal fixation (aORIF) versus staged (sORIF) definitive fixation.
Rates of wound dehiscence/necrosis and deep infection.
Acute (N = 40) versus staged (N = 58) ORIF groups had comparable rates of vascular disease, renal disease, and substance/nicotine use, but aORIF patients had higher rates of diabetes mellitus (10% vs. 0%, P < 0.001), which correlated with higher American Society of Anaesthesiologist scores (>American Society of Anaesthesiologist 3: 37.5% vs. 13.8%, P = 0.02). Both groups achieved anatomic/good reductions, as determined by postoperative CT scans, at rates greater than 90%; however, the sORIF group required modestly longer operative times to achieve this outcome (aORIF vs. sORIF: 121 vs. 146 minutes, P = 0.02). Postoperatively, both groups had similar rates of wound dehiscence (2.5% vs. 6.9%, P = 0.65), superficial infections (10% vs. 17.2%, P = 0.39), and deep infections (10% vs. 8.6%, P = 0.99). While the injury pattern itself required free flap coverage in 1 patient in each group, unplanned free flap coverage occurred in 10.0% and 10.3% of aORIF and sORIF groups, respectively. Overall, rates of unplanned reoperations, excluding ankle arthrodesis, did not differ between groups (aORIF vs. sORIF:12.5% vs. 25.9%, P = 0.13).
In select patients managed by fellowship-trained orthopaedic traumatologists, acute definitive pilon fixation can produce acceptable outcomes.

比较急性与分期固定治疗完全关节面胫骨平台骨折的结果。
回顾性队列研究。
单一级创伤中心。
98 例骨骼成熟的 OTA/AO 43C 型骨折患者,采用钢板和螺钉固定进行确定性固定,并至少随访 6 个月。
急性切开复位内固定(aORIF)与分期(sORIF)确定性固定。
伤口裂开/坏死和深部感染的发生率。
急性(N=40)与分期(N=58)ORIF 组的血管疾病、肾脏疾病和物质/尼古丁使用的发生率相当,但 aORIF 患者的糖尿病发生率更高(10%比 0%,P<0.001),这与更高的美国麻醉医师协会评分(>美国麻醉医师协会 3 分:37.5%比 13.8%,P=0.02)相关。两组均通过术后 CT 扫描获得大于 90%的解剖/良好复位,但 sORIF 组需要更长的手术时间才能达到这一结果(aORIF 比 sORIF:121 比 146 分钟,P=0.02)。术后,两组的伤口裂开率(2.5%比 6.9%,P=0.65)、浅表感染率(10%比 17.2%,P=0.39)和深部感染率(10%比 8.6%,P=0.99)相似。虽然每组都有 1 例患者因损伤模式本身需要游离皮瓣覆盖,但计划外游离皮瓣覆盖分别发生在 aORIF 和 sORIF 组的 10.0%和 10.3%患者中。总的来说,两组计划外再次手术率(不包括踝关节融合术)无差异(aORIF 比 sORIF:12.5%比 25.9%,P=0.13)。
在由 fellowship 培训的骨科创伤医师管理的选择患者中,急性确定性 pilon 固定可获得可接受的结果。
