Divergent fracture-dislocation of the ankle is a rare injury; it is due to a high-energy accident with axial forces that dislocate the astragalus at the tibiofibular junction with injury of the syndesmosis. It is most often associated with a fracture of the fibula, and sometimes with a fracture of both the fibula and tibia. We report 2 cases, their mechanisms, their treatments, their short-term results and review of the literature.
