Abstract:Introduction: The Bosworth fracture-dislocation is a rare injury originally described as an irreducible dislocation of a distal fibula fracture where the proximal fibular fragment becomes incarcerated behind the distal tibia. There have since been a few cases described of an intact distal fibula with dislocation and similar difficulties in closed reduction attempts, typically seen with associated injuries to the ankle or proximal fibula. Regardless of the specific fracture or dislocation pattern, closed reduct… Show more
