High‐Energy Transsyndesmotic Ankle Fracture Dislocation: A Case Report and Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

High‐energy trauma can cause transsyndesmotic ankle fracture dislocation. These fractures are quite rare. Here we present a clinical case of a male patient with this type of injury. A systematic review of PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Embase electronic databases revealed only two prior publications on a similar topic. We discuss the typical clinical features of these injuries, the treatment of high‐energy trauma which can cause transsyndesmotic ankle fracture dislocation, and its prognosis.
