CASE: A 22-year-old athlete sustained a traumatic posterior tibial tendon (PTT) rupture with medial malleolus fracture and anterior tibial plafond chondral lesion during practice. He underwent PTT repair, ankle arthroscopy with microfracture, and medial malleolus open reduction and internal fixation with deltoid ligament repair. At 1 year postoperatively, the patient returned to activity excluding high-level competition. CONCLUSION: Anterior tibial chondral impaction injury with an avulsion fracture of the medial malleolus and PTT tear is effectively treated with a combined arthroscopic and open approach.
