Core Tip	Here, we present the case report of a previously unreported injury pattern: Concomitant Achilles tendon rupture, peroneal tendon ruptures, and Weber A lateral malleolus fracture sustained in a high energy snowboarding fall. Initially, peroneal tendon tears were missed and discovered intraoperatively, changing the course of clinical care. We discuss the mechanism of injury and review the literature around similar cases of high energy tendon rupture and concomitant ankle fracture. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for concomitant injuries in high-energy ankle trauma during snow sports.
