Question 1

Ankle AP

Answer 1

Medial and lateral malleoli

Talus

No rotation of the ankle

tibiofibular super with the ant tubercle of tibia slightly super the fibula

Talus slightly overlapping the distal fibula

No overlapping of the medial talomalleolar articulation

Tibiotalar joint space

Question 2

Ankle Mortise

Answer 2

Mid between malleoli

pt angle 15-20

intermalleolar plane is parallel

The three sides of the mortise joint should be visualized

Proper 15- to 20-degree rotation of ankle

Talofibular articulation open

Tibiotalar articulation open

No overlap of the ant tubercle of the tibia on fibula

Question 3

Medial Oblique Ankle

Answer 3

midway between the malleoli

Pt angle; 45

Distal tibia, fibula, and talus

Proper 45-degree rotation of ankle

Tibiofibular articulation open

Distal tibia and fibula overlap some of the talus

Question 4

Lateral Ankle

Answer 4

entering medial mallelous

Shows third of the tibia and fibula; the ankle joint; and the tarsals, including the base of the fifth metatarsal

Medial and lateral malleoli

Talus

Normal overlapping of the tibiofibular articulation with the anterior tubercle slightly superimposed over the fibula

Talus slightly overlapping the distal fibula

No overlapping of the medial talomalleolar articulation

Tibiotalar joint space

Question 5

AP weight bearing Ankle

Answer 5

Medial mortise open

Distal tibia and talus partially superimpose distal fibula

Lateral mortise closed

Question 6

AP stress views ankle verifys

Answer 6

presence of a ligamentous tear
