Summary
This project intends to compare patient outcomes between patients undergoing ORIF compared to PA, or ankle fusion, following an acute pilon fracture. Limited literature comparing ORIF and ankle fusion as a primary procedure exists. Particularly, no present literature exists examining the novel arthrodesis surgical technique utilized in this study in conjunction with Opal sensor gait analysis data. This study will serve as a pilot study and assess patient gait, degree of pain, functional outcome scores, development of post-traumatic arthritis and/or infection, need for secondary surgery, and return to work time.
