This case report details a rare Bosworth fracture variation: a distal fibula dislocation without a fracture. Surgical repair with syndesmotic screws successfully restored pain-free ambulation.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • A Bosworth fracture is a specific type of ankle fracture-dislocation.
  • It involves posterior displacement of the distal fibular fragment.
  • Variations in fracture patterns require careful diagnostic and treatment considerations.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a unique ankle injury: a distal fibula dislocation without an associated fracture.
  • This presentation deviates from the typical Bosworth fracture morphology.
  • Clinical examination and imaging were crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful open reduction and internal fixation.
  • Syndesmotic screws were utilized to stabilize the tibiofibular joint.

  • Post-operative recovery allowed for a return to pain-free ambulation.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing variations in ankle injuries.
    • It demonstrates the efficacy of surgical intervention for non-fracture dislocations.
    • Successful management can lead to excellent functional outcomes in complex ankle trauma.
