Résumé
Ankle fracture dislocations with frustrating attempts at closed reduction are a rare traumatic entity. We present a case of an irreducible ankle fracture due to incarceration of all the flexor tendons including the neurovascular bundle in the tibial fibular interosseous space; to date, only one such case has been published in the literature. A computed tomography scan in both bone and soft tissue windows was necessary to clarify the structures that were inhibiting repositioning. The decisive step for surgical treatment was removal of the trapped structures from the tibial fibular interosseous space by a dorsomedial approach. The malleolar joint was then reconstructed anatomically. After 12 weeks, the patient was fully mobile without restrictions in his daily professional activities.
