Clinical outcomes and safety of surgical strategies for Pilon fractures: A network meta-analysis
PM, mPM, and PL approaches show advantages in functional recovery and fracture healing, while combined approaches may reduce complications. Anterolateral plus modified posteromedial improves surgical efficiency. Surgical choice should consider fracture type, soft tissue condition, and operative goals. Further high-quality multicenter RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.
