- •
The irreducible trimalleolar fracture case with the peroneal tendons was entrapped.
- •
We describe a new radiographic sign with bony spikes from the distal fibular fragment which we are calling the “tongues of flame sign.”
- •
The presence of this “tongues of flame sign” should alert the treating surgeon to a possible irreducible ankle fracture/dislocation, which may need urgent attention for surgical management.
