Pes cavovarus as a late sequela of tibial shaft fractures is well recognized. A similar deformity following an ankle fracture is rare. The patient in the present report had a cavovarus deformity following a trimalleolar fracture. A deep posterior compartment syndrome may follow an ankle fracture and should be considered in any patient with unrelenting pain.
