RODRIGUEZ, Yaniel; GóMEZ GIL, Indira; GAMEZ ARREGOITIA, Rafael e PEREZ MARTINEZ, Osmany. Management of Open Fracture-Dislocation of the Ankle. A Case Report. Medisur [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.6, pp. 900-903. ISSN 1727-897X.
An open fracture-dislocation of the ankle is a rare injury. The case of a 57-year-old patient without a history of previous diseases who attended the emergency department of the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University General Hospital in Cienfuegos after suffering a work-related accident is presented. To repair this serious injury, the surgical cleaning of the joint with antiseptic solutions was performed urgently, the fracture-dislocation was reduced and an osteosynthesis was carried out. Twelve weeks after surgery the patient returned to his previous work.
