(a) A 36-year-old man sustained a pilon type B ankle fracture. (b) A congruent ankle joint and anatomical reduction of the fragments were observed on X-rays immediately after ORIF. (c) This patient gradually developed anterior subluxation of the ankle joint and impaction of the anterior distal tibial plafond. (d–e) Twelve months after the initial surgery, this patient visited our clinic for consultation because of worsening pain around the ankle. (f) At 16 months after the revision operation, alignment of the ankle was normal on the sagittal plane, and the patient was satisfied with the results of the operation.
