Abstract | Introduction: Orthopedic surgeons have long acknowledged the difficulty of treating distal tibia and fibula fractures with posterior malleoli fractures in individuals with medical comorbidities due to a lack of inadequate blood supply. Aged Type 2 diabetic individuals, with distal tibia and fibula fracture with posterior malleoli fracture, are more prone to complications such as non-union, wound infection, and delayed bone healing. It is debatable whether surgical or non-invasive treatment is preferable for diabetic complex fractures. Case report: A 62-year-old male suffered a right distal tibia and fibula fracture with posterior malleoli fracture following an incidental fall followed by a hit over the iron rod. The patient was treated conservatively with POP for 6 weeks due to the patient's refusal of surgical management. Radiography after 6 weeks revealed features of non-union. Conclusion: The Ilizarov external fixation with bone graft was planned later to treat the non-union distal tibia and fibula fracture with posterior malleoli fracture. About 18 months after the Ilizarov fixation radiography reviewed the features of the union and clinically also patient improved. |
