Anteroposterior View Quantitative analysis
Tibiofibular overlap<10mm is abnormal - implies syndesmotic injuryTibiofibular clear space >5mm is abnormal - implies syndesmotic injuryTalar tilt>2mm is considered abnormalConsider a comparison with radiographs of the normal side if there are unresolved concerns of injury

Mortise View
•Foot is internally rotated and AP projection is performed •Abnormal findings:
medial joint space widening >4mmtalocural angle <8 or >15 degrees (comparison to normal side is helpful)tibia/fibula overlap <1mm

PER
• Must x-ray knee to ankle to assess injury
• Syndesmosis is disrupted in most cases– Eponym: Maissoneuve Fracture

Medial injury: tranverse to short oblique medial malleolar fracture
Lateral Injury: comminuted impaction type distal lateral malleolar fracture

Lauge-Hansen
• In each type there are several stages of injury• Imperfect system:
– Not every fracture fits exactly into one category– Even mechanismspecific pattern has been questioned– Inter and intraobserver variation not ideal– Still useful and widely used
Remember the injury starts on the tight side of the ankle! The lateral side is tight in supination, while the medial side is tight in pronation.

Weber ClassificationBased on location of fibula fracture relative to mortise and appearance Weber A fibula distal to syndesmosis Weber B fibula at level of syndesmosis Weber C fibula proximal to syndesmosisConcept - the higher the fibula the more severe the injury

Posterior Malleolus Fractures
Function:Stability- prevents posterior translation of
talus & enhances syndesmotic stability
Weight bearing- increases surface area of ankle joint

Common Names of Fracture Variants
• Maisonneuve Fracture– Fracture of proximal fibula with
syndesmotic disruption• Volkmann Fracture
– Fracture of tibial attachment of PITFL
– Posterior malleolar fracture type• Tillaux-Chaput Fracture
– Fracture of tibial attachment of AITFL

Pott fracture.
In the Pott fracture, the fibula is fractured above the intact distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, the deltoid ligament is ruptured, and the talus is subluxed laterally
![Page 41: Ankle joint final](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ed67db1a28ab9a3e8b465f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Dupuytren fracture. (A) This fracture usually occurs 2 to 7 cm above the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, with disruption of the medial collateral ligament and, typically, tear of the syndesmosis leading to ankle instability. (B) In the low variant, the fracture occurs more distally and the tibiofibular ligament remains intact.
![Page 42: Ankle joint final](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ed67db1a28ab9a3e8b465f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Wagstaffe-LeFort fracture. In the Wagstaffe-LeFort fracture, seen here schematically on the anteroposterior view, the medial portion of the fibula is avulsed at the insertion of the anterior tibiofibular ligament. The ligament, however, remains intact.

Common Names of Fracture Variants
•Collicular Fractures–Avulsion fracture of distal portion of medial malleolus–Injury may continue and rupture the deep deltoid ligament
•Bosworth fracture dislocation–Fibular fracture with posterior dislocation of proximal fibular segment behind tibia

AXIAL FRACTURES
![Page 45: Ankle joint final](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ed67db1a28ab9a3e8b465f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Tibial Pilon Fractures
The terms tibial plafond fracture, pilon fracture, and distal tibial explosion fracture all have been used to describe intraarticular fractures of the distal tibia.
These terms encompass a spectrum of skeletal injury ranging from fractures caused by low-energy rotational forces to fractures caused by high-energy axial compression forces arising from motor vehicle accidents or falls from a height.
Rotational variants typically have a more favorable prognosis, whereas high-energy fractures frequently are associated with open wounds or severe, closed, soft-tissue trauma.
