Yes, Flip Flops Were Involved.
In April 2018, a 21-year-old male was referred to the Department of Surgical Emergency (SED) at the tertiary hospital (SOH) of Lomé (Togo) for a left foot defect following a road traffic accident. He was presented with an open fracture Gustillo–Anderson type IIIB over the left foot. The tarso-metatarsal joint, the first metatarsal bone, and extensor tendons of the first ray were exposed [Figure - 1]. Besides the foot trauma, the patient was presented with an opened Gustillo–Anderson type II leg fracture that was treated with an intramedullary locked nail and wound suture.
