The pre-departure weather briefing received by the pilot called for occasional moderate turbulence below Flight Level 180. The captain stated that while descending at Flight Level 260, the airplane encountered unforecasted turbulence. One passenger was thrown "about the cabin" and sustained a broken ankle while returning to his seat after securing the galley at the pilot's request.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadvertent flight into unforecasted turbulent weather conditions. A contributing factor was the turbulence.
