Editor's Notes

  1. AP defined as long axis of foot in true vertical position. Tib fib overlap defined by Pettrone in classic article [JBJS 1983] Tibiofibular clear space defined in the same article. It has subsequently been reevaluated multiple times [Harper Foot Ankle 1993; Park et al JOT 2006…] Talar tilt originated ??? One early reference is Joy et al JBJS 1974. In this it was defined by measuring the distance between the articular surfaces of the tibia and talus in the medial and lateral parts of the joint as seen on the AP.
  2. The medial clear space has been defined as the distance between the lateral border of the medial malleolus and the medial border of the talus at the level of the talar dome [Joy et al JBJS 1974]. The idea dates back at least to the 1940s [Burns 1943]. It is considered to be representative of the status of the deep deltoid ligament. It varies depending on the position of the radiograph, the stress on the ankle, and the injury to the ankle. Historically a space wider than 4mm was considered to be abnormal. More recently, a medial clear space of greater than or equal to 5mm on radiographs taken in dorsiflexion with an external rotation stress was found to be most predictive of deep deltoid ligament transection after distal fibular fracture [Park et al. JOT 2006]. The talocrural angle is the superomedial angle formed by the intersection of a line joining the tips of both malleoli and of a line perpendicular to the distal tibial articular surface. This originated in 1976 [Sarkisian , Cody, J Trauma]. Note tib fib overlap is measured on both the AP and the mortise view. [Pettrone et al. JBJS 1983]. The number revealing likely instability is different by a factor of ten.
  3. Fibular length can be defined by: Shenton’s line of the ankle The dime test Other measurements [eg bimalleolar angular measurements [Rolfe et al Foot and Ankle 1989] Comparison radiographs always useful
  4. A medial injury is thought to be required for a syndesmotic injury to alter loading [Boden JBJS 1989]
  5. Plain radiographic reduction parameters may be inadequate for assessing the quality of reduction [when MRI is used as gold standard rather than stress views]. Gardner FAI 2006 Instability should be assessed after osseous injuries have been stabilized.
  6. Note difference in level of syndesmotic screw placement. There is evidence that placing screws closer to the syndesmosis leads to less widening [McBryde FAI 1997]. General recommendation is approximately 2 cm above the tibiotalar joint but not directly into the cartilage of the syndesmosis.
