Closed Fracture of the Medial Malleolus Accompanied by A Rupture of the Tibialis Anterior Tendon: An Unusual Case Report
Journal Title: HASEKİ TIP BÜLTENİ - Year 2018, Vol 56, Issue 4
Abstract
Isolated medial malleolus fractures comprise two-thirds of all ankle fractures and are rarely accompanied by a posterior tibial tendon rupture and dislocation. However, a medial malleolus fracture accompanied by an anterior tibial tendon rupture is unusual, and has not yet been reported. In this paper, a case of medial malleolus fracture accompanied by a tibialis anterior tendon rupture is presented and discussed.
