Abstract
Open ankle dislocations without fracture are rare injuries. Dislocation or interposition
of adjacent tendons are a rare associated feature of ankle fracture-dislocation. We
report an extremely unusual case of open ankle dislocation without fracture with concurrent
tibialis posterior tendon interposition through the interosseous space that was detected
incidentally on computed tomography. We highlight the clinical, radiologic, and intraoperative
features to avoid missing similar diagnoses.
