Open Ankle Injury without Associated Fracture or Dislocation Requiring Surgical Intervention: A Case Report

Open ankle injuries without dislocation or fracture are very rare. Therefore, an ample assessment should always be conducted with an understanding that the extent of the injury may be underestimated via static radiographs. Surgical repair is necessary for treatment and we have described one technique through which treatment of open lateral ligamentous ankle injury is possible.

Abstract

Open ankle injuries without dislocation or fracture are very rare. Therefore, an ample assessment should always be conducted with an understanding that the extent of the injury may be underestimated via static radiographs. Surgical repair is necessary for treatment and we have described one technique through which treatment of open lateral ligamentous ankle injury is possible.
