| dc.description.abstract | ntroduction - Leg fractures may occur frequently in
sport injuries but it is very rare to find this kind of
injury associated with interosseous membrane
synostosis. This case report describes a unique case
of 42 B1.2 fracture of the leg associated with an
interosseous membrane synostosis and literature
review on Pubmed, Google scholar and Medscape.
Case Presentation - A 26 year old male amateur
soccer player came to our attention at the emergency
room after a fall while he was running without any
direct trauma following a referred ankle sprain. X-ray
and CT scan of the left leg showed a comminuted
displaced fracture of the lower middle third of tibial
and peroneus diaphysis, and moreover, a fracture of
peroneal malleolus associated with a bone bridge
between the tibia and fibula. The patient was treated
with a surgical osteosynthesis the day after trauma.
Conclusion - We think that the interosseous
membrane plays an important role in biomechanics of
the leg even during running. To our knowledge, this
is the first case reported which show the fractures of
the tibia and fibula associated with an ipsilateral
synostosis of the interosseous membrane.
