Pure ankle dislocations, though rare, require prompt treatment to prevent nerve and blood vessel damage. This case highlights external fixation and early mobilization as key for full recovery in traumatic ankle injuries without fractures.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- Ankle dislocations are orthopedic emergencies often associated with fractures.
- Pure ankle dislocations, without fractures, are rare and typically result from high-energy trauma.
- Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent neurovascular compromise.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
