The adult Tillaux fracture: one not to miss.

BMJ Case Reports 2013 July 19
This case is a rare adult type Tillaux fracture. This fracture should be diagnosed in the emergency department. The fracture requires careful evaluation with awareness of associated injury. Standard radiological views (antero-posterior and lateral) of the ankle may not clearly show the fracture displacement hence, an oblique view is required. The fracture should be managed by the emergency physician, if the displacement is less than 2 mm, by immobilising with a non-weight bearing cast or ankle braces for 6 weeks. If the fracture fragment is displaced more than 2 mm, it should be treated by closed reduction failing which open reduction and internal fixation is the standard practice.
