Bosworth fracture is a rare and complex ankle injury characterized by an irreducible fracture-dislocation where the proximal fibula becomes trapped behind the posterior tibial tubercle. This injury, often underdiagnosed and rare, may have a higher true prevalence than currently recognized. The mechanism typically involves excessive external rotation on a supinated foot. Due to its rarity and complex presentation, it is frequently underdiagnosed, leading to delayed treatment and potentially severe complications.
