-A pilon or plafond fracture, is a fracture of the distal part of the tibia, involving its articular surface at the ankle joint.
-Pilon fractures are caused by rotational "shear" or axial forces, mostly as a result of falls from a height or motor vehicle accidents.
T1:nondisplaced cleavage fracture of ankle j,
T2:displaced fracture with minimal impaction or comminution,
T3:displaced fracture with significant articular comminution&metaphyseal impaction.
