They were treated with resection of all infected or necrotic bone, systemic antibiotics, and instrumentation with a small pin fixator (llizarov external fixator). The fixator was used to perform an ankle arthrodesis and to fill the defect created by bone resection with distraction osteogenesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In all cases, the infections were eradicated, and a solid arthrodesis was attained. The patients required from zero to two revision procedures (average 1.3), and their time in the fixator varied from 3 to 13 months (average 8 months). All of the patients experienced at least minor complications during treatment (superficial pin tract infections).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>At final follow-up, no patient demonstrated shortening of more than 1.5 cm. One patient has an internal rotation deformity of 15\u00b0; a second has a varus deformity of 10\u00b0 and occasionally uses lateral support (a cane) secondary to unsteadiness on uneven ground; and one patient uses aspirin occasionally for subtalar pain. All are pleased with their results and would undergo the same procedure again without reservation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079301400701","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,3]],"date-time":"2013-03-03T03:31:12Z","timestamp":1362281472000},"page":"373-379","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Treatment of Infected Pilon Nonunions with Small Pin Fixators"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Peter J.","family":"Stasikelis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason H.","family":"Calhoun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Billy R.","family":"Ledbetter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diane M.","family":"Anger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jon T.","family":"Mader","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1993,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-107110079301400701","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198906000-00011","volume":"243","author":"Aronson J.","year":"1989","journal-title":"Clin.
