tibial pilon

The term ‘tibial pilon’ was first described by the French radiologist Destot in 1911 who likened the shape of the distal tibia to a pestle and compared the explosive impact of the talus against the tibia to that of a hammer striking a nail. http://www.rcsed.ac.uk/journal/svol1_2/10200008.html

Also used as "pylon".
