Atypical pronation-eversion ankle joint fractures.
Two cases of pronation-eversion fractures, grade four, are described which were sustained during sports activities. However, in both cases the medial structures of the joint were intact. The trauma mechanism is obscure but may be explained by considering the ankle joint and the subtalar joints as a torsion transmitter as suggested by Inman (1976).
