Undisplaced oblique fracture through the distal malleolus.
Case Discussion
This case has an almost full hand of associations (tarsal coalition and absent rays) of a ball and socket ankle joint. Despite the impressive congenital anomalies, it is important to spot any pathology, which in this case is a distal fibular fracture.
