The isolated dislocation of the fibula head is a rare injury which therefore often represents a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. With the case report and literature review we want to bring this injury into the forefront and illustrate the conservative and operative treatment possibilities.

Open Ankle Injury without Associated Fracture or Dislocation Requiring Surgical Intervention: A Case Report.
J Orthop Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Toledo Medical Center, Ohio, USA.
Introduction: Bony and ligamentous ankle injuries are some of the most commonly treated injuries by orthopedic surgeons. Open ligamentous ankle injuries without an associated fracture or dislocation are rare and to our knowledge have only sparsely been described in the literature. We present a case and successful treatment of an open lateral ankle injury with capsular rupture and ligamentous damage without fracture or dislocation in a 22-year-old female.

We present a case of a man in his 40s with a proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and posterolateral corner (PLC) injury sustained after a cycling accident. Physical examination and MRI confirmed the diagnosis. He was treated with reconstruction of the ACL, PLC and proximal tibiofibular joint.

Large posterolateral tibial fragments, known as Volkmann fractures, are common in ankle fracture-dislocations and typically require open reduction and fixation with interfragmentary screws and often buttress plates using a prone posterolateral approach. In this setting, fibula plating often necessitates dissection of the lateral window between the peroneal tendons and the skin, increasing wound-related complications. In recent years, intramedullary nailing of fibula fractures has gained popularity as a minimally invasive technique that allows load-sharing stabilization.

The present study shows how posterior malleolus fractures (PMFs) and distal fibular fractures were fixed using the posterolateral approach with the patient in lateral decubitus position, not previously described in the literature. This technique has been used in 60 consecutive patients (42 women and 18 men; mean age 54.7; range 21-92 years), 33 of which presented as fracture dislocations from March, 2021 to December, 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Logsplitter injury is a severe ankle fracture dislocation with complex mechanisms, and understanding its radiological features is crucial for appropriate treatment.
- A study analyzed 62 patients from 2009 to 2018, identifying various types of injuries including fibular and tibial fractures, syndesmosis damage, and ligament injuries, with a high incidence of open fractures (98.4%).
- The majority of injuries were classified as pronation-abduction types according to the Lauge-Hansen classification, highlighting the diverse nature of this injury and its pathoanatomic characteristics.
