Abstract:
Combined injury of peroneus brevis rupture and bimalleolar fracture is very rare. The avulsion of peroneus brevis tendon from insertion maybe neglected and may prevent anatomic reduction of lateral malleolar fracture. We have treated open bimalleolar fracture with avulsion of peroneus brevis tendon from its insertion.
