Lateral Rotatory Dislocation of the Ankle without Fracture

A CASE REPORT

A. F. D'ANCA M.D.1

1 The Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, Pennsylvania 17821

A case of simple lateral rotatory dislocation of the ankle without fracture is reported. No similar case has been found in the English literature. The mechanism of injury is a minor inversion type of injury. There is no roentgenographic evidence of tibiofibular diastasis.

Treatment consisted in closed reduction followed by a below-the-knee non-weight-bearing plaster cast for six weeks.

A good anatomical, roentgenographic, and functional result was obtained.
