Abstract

Ankle fracture is one of the most common fractures in adults and among pregnant women. In pregnancy, the treatment must be prompt because of the risks and complications that could involve both mother and fetus. In this article, we reported the management of a patient with a bimalleolar fracture in pregnancy, its treatment, and evolution.
