Abstract EN

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.
