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 Étienne 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
