Abstract
We report the case of a 44-year-old man who sustained an Achilles tendon rupture with an associated trimalleolar fracture and traumatic peroneal dislocation of the left ankle after a snowboarding injury. These injuries have been surgically repaired; the patient has returned to all his activities 18 months after surgery. The possibility of such injuries occurring in combination should be considered. A thorough history, physical examination, and plain radiographs should be performed in higher energy trauma to the ankle. Additional diagnostic tests such as ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging may be used to supplement treatment. Level 5.
