Massonneuve fracture

AP and lateral radiographs of the tibia and fibula show an oblique fracture of the distal tibia (arrow) and a transverse fracture of the proximal fibula. This fracture pattern is termed a Maisonneuve fracture, which occurs with pronation and external rotation. It represents a proximal fibular fracture associated with a rupture of the tibiofibular syndesmosis and a fracture of the distal tibia.
