Abstract

We report a particular case of a rare lesion association of ankle fracture occurring after an open trauma of the right ankle, and which associates a bimalleolar fracture, a Tillaux fracture, and interposition of the posterior tibial tendon in syndesmosis. We treated it surgically with a good clinical and radiological evolution. The objective of this study is to draw attention to this clinical and radiological variety.
