Deformed ankle following fracture

---

Deformed ankle following fracture on a 73 year old female patient. This case was triggered by osteoporosis, a health condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. The patient also has rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease which attacks the joints and leads to painful, stiff and deformed joints.
