Presentation
Right ankle eversion injury
Patient Data
There is a bimalleolar fracture dislocation of the right ankle. The talus is dislocated laterally in relation to the distal tibia. The fracture fragments are also slightly displaced.
Post reduction xray shows satisfactory alignment of the ankle mortise. On the lateral view the distal fibular fracture fragments displaced by 5mm posteriorly.
The medial malleolar fracture is displaced by approximately 9mm inferiorly.
Intraoperative xray imaging during internal fixation procedure. Lateral plate and screw fixation of distal fibula. Medial malleolus fracture has been stabilized with two screws.
Case Discussion
Unstable bimalleolar Weber B fracture after an eversion injury involving the distal fibula and tibia requiring internal fixation.
