The radiograph demonstrates an ankle fracture-dislocation. There is diastasis of the distal tibia and fibula, indicating a syndesmosis injury. Zalavras et al stated failure to recognize and treat the syndesomsis injury leads to inferior outcomes, and should be assessed after fibula and medial malleolar fixation. Treatment of choice is reduction of the syndesmosis and fixation.
