Abstract

The Bosworth fracture dislocation of the ankle is rare and present difficulties in treatment if not immediately recognized. Here we present two cases with pre- and postoperative x-rays and perioperative image of the dislocation. The fracture dislocations were further complicated by talocrural dislocations and were treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

Keywords: Ankle fracture; Bosworth fracture dislocation; Surgical management.
