Résumé
A 73-year-old woman with significant medical comorbidities presented with a grade I open left ankle fracture dislocation. Distraction arthroplasty was used as a definitive treatment for this injury. The patient tolerated the procedure and had no postoperative complications. The external fixator was removed at 6 months. The patient maintained good ankle function at the 1-year postoperative visit. Distraction arthroplasty is a viable acute and definitive treatment option for ankle fracture in patients with significant medical comorbidities. [Orthopedics. 2021;44(1):e148-e150.].
