- Abstract:
- The authors are going to report on the case of a 32-year-old female patient suffering from a non-dislocated external ankle fracture which was submitted to conservative treatment. This treatment was complicated by the occurrence of a tarsal tunnel syndrome which required surgical revision. The cause of this complication may be seen in the development of a minor local hematoma in the course of the tibial nerve as well as in a convolution of varicose veins located in the region of the internal ankle. By describing this case the authors wish to point out that development of a tarsal tunnel syndrome may not only be due to ankle fractures treated by osteosynthetic management (as described in relevant literature) but also to relatively uncomplicated and almost non-dislocated external ankle fractures receiving conservative management.
