Core Tip	High-energy tibial pilon fractures are complex and severe fractures that are associated with a high risk of infection following open reduction and internal fixation. In this regard, we identified a Ruedi-Allgower pilon fracture type III, a type III surgical incision, wound contamination; and diabetes as a comorbidity as significant risk factors for postoperative infection. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for prevention strategies to lower the risk of postoperative infection for tibial pilon fractures.
