An Unexpected Intra-operative Encounter of Anterior Tibial Vessels Entrapment in the Fracture of Tibial Pilon: A Case Report and Literature Review.

We present a rare case of a comminuted tibial pilon fracture with entrapment of anterior tibial vessels in fracture site, which was unexpectedly discovered intra-operatively. Following safe extrication of vessels and fracture fixation through minimally invasive approach, the patient recovered uneventfully. Phenomenon of anterior neurovascular entrapment should be kept in mind while dealing with high-energy tibial pilon fractures.
