Operatively Treated Open Pilon Fractures
Completed
Conditions studied: Open Pilon Fractures
In brief
A chart review will be performed to extrapolate information including sex, height, weight, date/time admitted to HMC, injury data, comorbidities, fracture pattern, antibiotic usage, surgical history, wound history, fracture healing, and length of time to return to work. Dr.'s Goodspeed and Reid will conduct a radiographic review independently for each subject, classifying all fractures according to the Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification guide. If a discrepancy in classification is found, then both will discuss together and come to a consensus.
