Main Results:

  • Radiographic findings are type-specific for ankle fractures and dislocations.
  • Recognition of all injury components is essential for treatment planning.
  • Restoration of articular surface contour and joint stability are key treatment goals.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists must accurately identify all components of ankle injuries.
  • Effective communication between radiologists and orthopedic surgeons is critical.
  • Various imaging techniques (plain films, tomography, CT, MRI) aid in evaluating ankle abnormalities.
