Abstract: | Malleolar fractures are rarely associated with lesions of the adjacent tendons or neurovascular structures. The association of ankle fractures with Achilles tendon rupture is even more infrequent, although both of these injuries are very common in and of themselves. To our knowledge, fracture of the lateral malleolus in association with an acute rupture of the ipsilateral calcaneus tendon has not been previously described. In this article, we describe a female patient who sustained an acute rupture of the Achilles tendon in conjunction with fracture of the ipsilateral lateral malleolus. |
