Özet
Pure ankle dislocation without fracture is a rare injury. This study presents the case of a 23-year-old professional volleyball player who suffered a closed posteromedial ankle dislocation with complete ligament ruptures. After initial immobilization, surgical repair of the anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, and deltoid ligament was performed. A structured rehabilitation protocol enabled a full return to sports within five months. This case highlights the role of timely surgical intervention and individualized rehabilitation in achieving functional outcomes in elite athletes with pure ankle dislocations associated with complete ligament ruptures.
