Resumen

Introducción/Presentación del caso: Se reporta un caso particular de luxación expuesta de tobillo sin fractura maleolar asociada luego de un accidente vehicular (traumatismo de alta energía), junto con el desbridamiento inicial, la reducción y el uso de un fijador externo. Durante la evaluación se encontró una deficiencia de cobertura de tejidos blandos, que originalmente se abordó con terapia de presión negativa antes de recibir el autoinjerto de piel. Creemos que es vital compartir nuestra experiencia, evolución positiva tras un año de seguimiento, con mejoría en la EVA y la puntuación de la FAOS, y proporcionar posibles opciones de tratamiento en la literatura debido a la rareza de este tipo de luxación expuesta sin fractura. Conclusiones: Las principales conclusiones son la pronta administración de antibióticos intravenosos, el desbridamiento y la reducción, la técnica de estabilización externa, el cuidado suficiente de los tejidos blandos y la pronta cobertura de los defectos de la piel.


Abstract

Introduction/Case Presentation: A particular case of an exposed ankle dislocation without associated malleolar fracture after a vehicular accident, a high energy trauma, is reported. Along with the initial debridement, reduction, and use of an external fixator. A coverage deficiency was found, which was originally addressed with negative pressure therapy before receiving skin graft. We think it´s vital to share our experience, positive progress after a year of follow-up, with improvement in the VAS and FAOS score, and to provide potential treatment options in the literature due to the rarity of this type of exposed dislocation without fracture. Conclusions: The main takeaways are the prompt administration of intravenous antibiotics, debridement and reduction, external stabilizing technique, sufficient soft tissue care, and prompt coverage of skin defects. No capsular or ligament repair was decided in the operating room.
