Abstract
This is a case report of a 34-year-old male who sustained an ankle dislocation injury without any associated fractures to the foot, ankle, or leg while playing basketball. After an extensive review of the literature, it was found that this type of injury without any associated fractures is an extremely rare occurrence. A case report and a review of the literature are presented in this paper.
