BMC Musculoskelet Disord
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Tillaux-Chaput tubercle fractures are uncommon in adults and typically occur in adolescents, often linked to growth plate separation and can go undiagnosed, impacting ankle function.
- A case was reported of an adult with a right ankle injury from a traffic accident, where initial exams missed a rupture of the peroneus tertius muscle, leading to restricted foot movement.
- Surgical repair of the muscle was performed after proper diagnosis and, through this case, the report aims to enhance awareness and improve treatment outcomes for similar injuries in adults.
