title: [Pilon fractures of the tibia--a short summary of problems and case reports].
abstract: Fractures of the distal tibia represent serious musculoskeletal injuries. Their treatment is rather difficult, requiring highly erudite staff and sufficient material equipment. The authors present a group of 41 patients operated on over a 5-year period and on 4 case reports show their own most frequently used treatment options.
