- 3. Ankle is athree bone joint composed of the tibia , fibula and talus Talus articulates with the tibial plafond superiorly , posterior malleolus of the tibia posteriorly and medial malleolus medially Lateral articulation is with malleolus of fibula 5/12/2018
- 4. Ankle joint -saddle-shaped Dome - wider anterior than posterior Ankle dorsiflexes- external roatation fibula to accommodate this widened anterior surface of the talar dome The tibiotalar articulation is considered to be highly congruent such that 1 mm talar shift within the mortise decreases the contact area by 42 % 5/12/2018

- 12. Swelling, echymosis, deformity managementof these fractures depends upon careful identification of the extent of bony injury as well as soft tissue and ligamentous damage. the key to successful outcome following rotational ankle fractures is anatomic restoration and healing of ankle mortise. 5/12/2018

- 15. An initial evaluationof the radiograph should 1st focus on •Tibiotalar articulation and access for fibular shortening •Widening of joint space •Malrotation of fibula •Talar tilt 5/12/2018

- 18.
- 19. On the anteroposteriorview, Important note fibular (lateral) malleolus is longer than the tibial (medial) malleolus. Even minimal displacement or shortening of the lateral malleolus allows lateral talar shift to occur and may cause incongruity in the ankle joint, possibly leading to posttraumatic arthritis. 5/12/2018
- 20. Quantitative analysis ◦Tibiofibular overlap ◦<1 0 m m is abnormal - implies syndesmotic injury ◦Tibiofibular clear space ◦> 5 m m is abnormal - implies syndesmotic injury ◦Talar tilt ◦> 2 m m is considered abnormal Comparison with radiographs of the normal side if there are unresolved concerns of injury 5/12/2018

- 27. • Stress Views –Gravity stress view – Manual stress views 5/12/2018 When radiographs of the ankle are normal, stress views are extremely important in evaluating ligament injuries .
- 28. Inversion stress view.(A) For inversion (adduction)-stress examination of the ankle, the foot is fixed in the device while the patient is supine. The pressure plate, positioned approximately 2 cm above the ankle joint, applies varus stress adducting the heel. (If the examination is painful, 5 to 10 mL of 1% Xylocaine or a similar local anesthetic is injected at the site of maximum pain.) (B) On the anteroposterior film, the degree of talar tilt is measured by the angle formed by lines drawn along the tibial plafond and the dome of the talus. The contralateral ankle is subjected to the same procedure for comparison. This angle helps diagnose tears of the lateral collateral ligament5/12/2018
- 29. The anterior-draw stressfilm for determining injury to the anterior talofibular ligament Values of up to 5 mm of separation between the talus and the distal tibia are considered normal between 5 and 10 mm may be normal or abnormal, and the opposite ankle should be stressed for comparison. Values above 10 mm always indicate abnormality. 5/12/2018
