We report two cases of isolated Tillaux fracture and Volkmann fracture without other associated ankle fractures. The case of Tillaux fracture was a 15-year-old female who tripped and fell over during a 400 m hurdle running competition. Preoperative radiographs and CT scans showed Salter-Harris type III, an isolated Tillaux fragment, with more than 2 mm anterior and lateral displacement. Surgical stabilization of Tillaux fragment was performed via anterolateral minimal invasive approach with anatomic reduction of Tillaux fragment and two parallel cannulated screw fixation. The second case was a 21-year-old female who fell off a snowboard with her ankle in an odd position. Preoperative radiographs did not reveal any bony injuries. However, CT scans showed a Volkmann fracture at the posterolateral aspect of posterior malleolus without displacement. Non surgical management was given, after intraoperative imaging intensifier screening to confirm that there was no syndesmotic diastasis. The mechanism of injury and options of management are discussed in this report.
