From: Tips and Tricks in surgical reduction of the posterior column of AO/OTA C3 pilon fractures
A 52-year-old man was involved in a motor vehicle accident developed AO/OTA C3 pilon fracture. A, B & C) Preoperative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs and sagittal computed tomography (CT) scans showed comminuted fracture of the posterior column articular surface. D & E) The intraoperative lateral radiographs showed adjustment of the articular surface through the combined posterolateral and anterior extensile approach, before (D) and after (E) the procedure. F & G) The postoperative anteroposterior and lateral X-rays showed good reduction and fixation. H) Postoperative sagittal CT scans showed that the reduction of the articular surface was satisfactory
