Quadrimalleolar ankle fracture with syndesmosis disruption—a minimally invasive approach with arthroscopic repair of the anterior-inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL); a case report
We describe the case of a 61-year-old Chinese female who presented with a closed quadrimalleolar ankle fracture subluxation with avulsion fracture of anterolateral tibial rim along with disruption of the syndesmosis. The fibula fracture was fixed under minimally invasive approach with a fibula nail...

| Summary: | We describe the case of a 61-year-old Chinese female who presented with a closed quadrimalleolar ankle fracture subluxation with avulsion fracture of anterolateral tibial rim along with disruption of the syndesmosis. The fibula fracture was fixed under minimally invasive approach with a fibula nail and the anterior-inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) was repaired arthroscopically, together with fixation of the medial malleolus fracture. This is the first reported case in which a similar technique was used. At the 3-month follow-up, the fracture has healed completely with good cosmetic and clinical outcome. |
