The simultaneous management of tibial shaft fractures and post-traumatic ankle arthritis with ankle pain as the chief complaint can be challenging. Herein, we present a case managed with closed reduction, internal fixation, and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis using a retrograde femoral nail. The patient was able to actively ambulate with full weight bearing and no pain approximately three months after the procedure. Patient consent for this case report was obtained.
Keywords: case-report; post-traumatic ankle arthritis; retrograde intramedullary femoral nail; tibial shaft fracture; tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis.
