Most tibial pilon fractures result from high-energy axial loading through the talus.

They are also commonly referred to as Tibial Plafond fractures. The tibial plafond is the distal articular surface of the tibia, which gained the name from its French meaning, "ceiling". Image
The term tibial pilon was first used by Γ‰tienne Destot in 1911 to describe the interaction of the distal tibia and talus during axial loading.

Pilon is the French term for "pestle".

The term was later adopted as a term for vertical impaction fractures of the distal tibia. Image

The ankle is a complex hinge joint comprised of the tibial plafond, talar dome, and distal fibula.

Ankle fractures most commonly occur in elderly females, with roughly 70% being isolated malleolar, 20% being bimalleolar, and 5-10% being trimalleolar. (1)
When first examining a patient with an ankle injury, you can utilize the Ottawa Ankle Rules to determine if you should x-ray the patient.
