This collaborative webinars focuses on one of the most complex injuries faced by the foot and ankle surgeon. Pilon fractures continue to challenge both decision-making and surgical technique, despite many advances in our understanding over recent years. Experts from both sides of the Atlantic will share their perspectives, review current knowledge of this injury, and debate best practice, illustrated by real-life case discussions.
At the conclusion of this webinar, you will be able to:
Understand modern theories of the soft tissue and bony injury patterns in Pilon fractures
Develop tools for treatment planning and surgical decision-making
Learn technical and practical tips in Pilon fracture surgery
