Abstract
Case: A 17-year-old male sustained an open fracture of the right medial malleolus (MM) with significant bone and soft tissue loss following a motor-vehicle accident. Following serial wound debridement, his ankle was effectively reconstructed with MM antiglide plate stabilization, iliac autogenous bone graft, and a free radial forearm soft tissue flap. Conclusions: Open MM fracture with bone and soft tissue loss is rare. It is feasible to treat this injury with a novel surgical reconstruction technique involving autogenous bicortical iliac bone graft and radial forearm free flap.
