Case Rep Emerg Med. 2020 Feb 11:2020:6479140. doi: 10.1155/2020/6479140. eCollection 2020.

Abstract

Achilles tendon and malleolar fractures are commonly seen in isolation, but only a few cases of combined injuries have been reported. In this case, we present a 53-year-old male who sustained an isolated lateral malleolus fracture with an Achilles tendon rupture. Emergency Medicine physicians should consider the possibility of these injuries in combination.
