The Maisonneuve fracture is typically a result of excessive, external rotative force being applied to the syndesmotic and deltoid ligaments. Due to this, the Maisonneuve fracture is described as a pronation-external rotation injury according to the Lauge-Hansen system.[1]
Sporting injuries or work-related falls are consistent within in most Maisonneuve fracture cases.
