The Maisonneuve fracture is a spiral fracture of the proximal third of the fibula associated with a tear of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and the interosseous membrane. There is an associated fracture of the medial malleolus or rupture of the deep deltoid ligament of the ankle .
Jules Germain Francois Maisonneuve (10 December 1809 – 9 April 1897) was a French surgeon and student of Guillaume Dupuytren. Maisonneuve is notable as the first surgeon to explain the role of external rotation in the production of ankle fractures. The eponymously named Maisonneuve fracture describes a specific fibular fracture.

Fibular fracture. Maisonneuve fracture – a spiral fracture of the proximal third of the fibula associated with a tear of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and the interosseous membrane; Le Fort fracture of ankle – a vertical fracture of the antero-medial part of the distal fibula with avulsion of the anterior tibiofibular ligament [16]
It is important to evaluate the exact location of the pain, the range of motion of the ankle, and the condition of the nerves and blood vessels. It is also important to palpate the calf proximally (near the knee) because there may be an associated high fibula fracture [citation needed] (Maisonneuve fracture).
