Abstract

Authors report one patient of concurrent fracture of medial malleolus and rupture of deltoid ligament. To the author's knowledge, combined failure of both structures has not been previously reported in Korea. Injury mechanism was classified into pronation -abduction type according to Lauge-Hansen classification. Plain radiograph revealed trimalleolar fracture and posterior ankle dislocation. MRI showed complete rupture of both deep and superficial layer of the deltoid ligament. In conclusion, therefore, concurrent rupture of deltoid ligament should be considered for the surgical treatment in trimalleolar ankle fracture with posterior ankle dislocation resulted from pronation-adduction injury.
