Résumé
Pelvic fractures (PFs), involving the disruption of the bony structures in the pelvic region, are complex injuries often associated with high-energy trauma. Such fractures can significantly impact a patient's mobility and overall quality of life. Concurrently, fractures of the malleoli, specifically the lateral and medial aspects of the ankle, are common lower extremity injuries that can result from various mechanisms, including twisting or direct trauma. This case report presents the multidisciplinary approach employed in the successful treatment of a 26-year-old male patient with a rare combination of PFs involving both anterior and posterior columns, along with lateral and medial malleolus fractures. The patient underwent a series of surgical interventions to stabilise the fractures, followed by a tailored physiotherapy management plan. The report discusses the postoperative care strategies and the crucial role of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation process.
