 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Cloverleaf plate for treatment of Pilon fractures Of: Xue Taikun, Chaiji Yu, Chang United States [Abstract] Objective clover plate for treatment of Pilon fractures. Methods 58 patients were admitted within 12 hours after surgery 3, three fractures underwent open reduction and plate fixation on clover, in which the line type bone graft, who combined application of lateral and posterior lateral ankle incision reduction and internal fixation. Results The patients were followed up for 7 to 36 months, an average of 18 months by ankle Boume criteria: excellent in 41 cases, good in 11 cases, 4 cases and poor in 2 cases. Conclusion distal tibial plate with clover can reduce the stimulation of skin and soft tissue, so that less soft tissue and periosteal stripping, easy to close the wound, easy to use, and enhance strength of internal fixation, significantly reduced the incidence of such complications advantages. [Keywords:] clover plate; Pilon fracture Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of treating Pilon fractures with Clover plate. Methods Fifty-eight cases of patients were treated with Clover plate within 3 ~ 12 hours. Each type should be opened in order to make it diaplasis and reach internal fixation. Results The effects of the treatment were followed up in 7 ~ 36 months, according to the ankle function Boume standard: 41 cases are in excellent lever, good in 11 cases, medium in 4 cases, poor in 2 cases. Conclusions Application of clover plate is an effective method to treat Pilon fracture, for it leads to early ambulance, short time of hospitalization or bed rest, minimal invasion, stable fixation, less complications, and simplicity. Keywords:: clover plate; Pilon fracture Pilon fractures that involved the distal tibial metaphyseal fractures of the articular surface may be associated with the inner and outer, or posterior malleolus, in the treatment are higher, and is now in our hospital from January 2004 to June 20
