AP X-ray of the ankle reveals low anterior, high posterior orientation spiral fracture of the distal fibula at the level of the tibial plafond fibula fracture, widening of medial ankle mortise and posterior malleolar fracture in a 67 year old patient following supination external rotation mechanism (SER IV) injury. Lateral rotation of the talus pushes the lateral malleolus posteriorly leading to anterior inferior talofibular syndesmotic ligament AITFL and deltoid ligament rupture.
