Article Synopsis
- A 17-year-old girl suffered a lateral malleolar fracture from a sprained ankle and experienced ongoing medial ankle pain despite six months of conservative treatment.
- Imaging showed complications like posterolateral displacement and bone edema, leading to a diagnosis of ankle instability and an osteochondral lesion due to delayed union.
- After surgery to realign and fix the fracture, her pain improved quickly, and an MRI showed significant recovery of the affected bone areas; the instability likely caused stress on the medial malleolus contributing to her pain.
