[Traumatic fibular tendon dislocation combined with medial malleolar fracture: a very uncommon association in ankle trauma].
We report two unusual cases of ankle injury involving dislocation of the fibular tendon and fracture of the medial malleolus. Only one case has been reported previously in the literature. We discuss the pathogenic mechanisms and the clinical and radiological aspects of this unusual ankle injury. The importance of early surgical treatment is emphasized.
