Abstract
Anterior ankle dislocations without concomitant malleolar fractures are rare injuries. Review of the English-language literature disclosed only three previously reported cases. A 21-year-old man sustained an isolated anterior ankle dislocation with an associated fracture of the trigonal process, which was reduced without difficulty. At follow-up examination 33 months later, the patient's major complaint was chronic, posttraumatic peroneal tendon dislocation. The proposed mechanism of injury suggested in this case is forced plantar flexion.
