Özet
The incidence of ankle fractures has been increasing among all fractures due to skeletal traumas. Bimalleolar fractures account for 25% of all ankle fractures. Bilateral traumatic bimalleolar ankle fracture is a very rare condition. In such a clinical presentation, pregnancy managed with cesarean procedure complicates the situation due to increased risk of venous thromboembolism and fatal pulmonary embolism. In this article, we report a 25-year-old female case within an eight-month pregnancy period who had bilateral bimalleolar ankle fracture due to an accident in a motor-vehicle and the clinical and radiological results of surgical treatment were discussed in the light of current literature data.
