Abstract
A 23-year-old male recreational basketball player sustained an open ankle fracture and ipsilateral carpal and metacarpal fractures as a result of a fall while attempting a slam-dunk. The wrist and hand fractures were treated nonoperatively. The open ankle fracture required irrigation, debridement, and open reduction/internal fixation. In addition to the prerequisite leaping ability, long-term success in playing above the rim requires experience exceptional physical agility, and the mental discipline to anticipate and avoid slam-dunk oportunities with high risk for personal injury.
