Simultaneous Radiographic Technique to Evaluate Ankle Instability

The use of ankle stress radiographs is common to evaluate ankle instability. However, the majority of the studies report the use of a manual method to apply the stress, increasing radiation exposure to the physician. Furthermore, as reported in other studies, the force applied during the stress may...

description The use of ankle stress radiographs is common to evaluate ankle instability. However, the majority of the studies report the use of a manual method to apply the stress, increasing radiation exposure to the physician. Furthermore, as reported in other studies, the force applied during the stress may vary between examiners according the strength and experience. In this Technical Note, we describe our preferred method to evaluate ankle instability, either using an inversion or eversion stress, avoiding the necessity of a physician in the radiographic room.
