Abstract

A Bosworth fracture is a rare injury that can result in an irreducible dislocation of the ankle joint. This case study presents a rare form of a Bosworth fracture in which the proximal portion of the fibula was entrapped within the posterior tubercle fracture of a pilon variant. It is important for physicians to be aware of rare variants of ankle fractures in order to diagnose and treat appropriately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
