[Isolated fracture of the medial malleolus combined with a traumatic dislocation of the peroneal tendon at the ankle joint].
A case report on an obviously rare combined injury of a fracture of the malleolus medialis and a traumatic dislocation of a peroneal tendon at the left ankle joint in a female patient of 20 years of age. The patient had had a car accident (using the safety seat belt) by colliding head-on with a tree. The ankle joint injury was confirmed by x-ray. After the usual preparations, screw osteosynthesis of the inner malleolus was performed on the fourth postoperative day. Because of persistent swelling and pain in the region of the outer malleolus despite elevation of the leg and measures to alleviate swelling, lateral revision of the ankle joint was done 14 days later, suspecting an injury of the anterior syndesmosis or of the lateral ligaments. To our surprise we discovered a traumatic dislocation of the peroneal tendon which was then surgically treated according to Kelly.
