  • Title: Bosworth fracture-dislocation of the ankle: a case report.
    Author: Yeoh CS, Tan GM.
    Journal: J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong); 2013 Aug; 21(2):249-52. PubMed ID: 24014795.
    Abstract:
    Bosworth fracture-dislocation of the ankle is a rare injury in which the proximal fibular fragment is entrapped behind the tibia. Closed reduction is extremely difficult to achieve. Early open reduction and internal fixation enables a better outcome by minimising soft-tissue damage. We report on a 36-year-old man who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for a Bosworth fracture-dislocation of the ankle complicated by severe soft-tissue swelling and an impending risk of skin necrosis after failed closed reduction.
