Overview [1][2][3]
Pilon fracture is a fracture of the distal part of the tibia bone (also called the shinbone). Meanwhile, the injured tibia may break into one or multiple pieces. The word "Pilon" is the French word for "pestle" which was first introduced by Étienne Destot into orthopedic literature in 1911.
