case_images: The continuity of the stabilization between the articular surface and the tibial diaphysis was then obtained by application of a hexapodal external fixator (Smart Gotham, New Jersey, USA). (Figure 1) None of the patients had any vascular or neural lesions at the time of admittance.

case_images: Once the joint line was anatomically repositioned, confirmed by fluoroscopic control, the fragments were fixed with two or three headless cannulated screws (Acumed, Oregon, USA), as needed. (Figures 4 and 5) After the joint line was stabilized, the external fixator system consisting of two rings was applied to complete the osteosynthesis.
