Abstract

Approximately 7-10% of all emergency department patients are diagnosed with distortion of the upper ankle joint. A dislocation of the upper ankle joint without fracture is described in the literature as being very rare. In 33-50% the ankle dislocations are at least first-degree open and associated with a fracture of the tibia, the fibula or the talus. We report the course, treatment and results 12 months after trauma of a posteromedial first-degree open dislocation of the upper ankle joint without fracture. To our knowledge, there is no record of this pathology mentioned in the German language literature.

Keywords: Ankle sprains; Ankle stability; Sports injury; Syndesmosis; Upper ankle dislocation.
