Respuesta :
A pilon fracture is a specific kind of break that affects the ankle joint's weight-bearing surface and develops near the base of the tibia (shinbone). Another bone in the lower leg, the fibula, is usually shattered with this kind of injury as well.
Bone healing/fracture takes roughly six weeks. Ligaments or other connective tissue may also take longer to recover. Until the bone heals, patients usually cannot bear any weight after surgery for 4 to 6 weeks. Patients are put on a pain control program that reduces the amount of opioid medication they require. Patients spend 90% of the day elevating the limb in a splint for the first few weeks. The sutures are taken out after 10 to 14 days, and patients are often put into a detachable boot. Patients can now begin moving their ankle and take a shower thanks to this. X-rays are obtained at the six-week appointment. Patients are subsequently permitted to start weight-bearing and start physical therapy, presuming the bone has healed properly. Patients will typically receive therapy for six weeks, or longer if necessary.
