Ankle dislocation with complex, comminuted fractures of the medial and lateral malleoli, which are severely displaced. There are further fractures, most likely involving the posterior malleolus, that are not well visualized on plain x-ray along with apparent malalignment of the subtalar joint.
Case Discussion
Low-energy trauma, such as tripping over a curb, can still result in severe injuries.
