Diagnostic imaging of trauma to the ankle and foot: I. Fractures about the ankle.

Drs. Mitchell et al. provide a valuable radiologic perspective of trauma to the ankle. The review is divided into six parts. The initial presentation deals with ankle fractures. Subsequent dialogues will consist of ligamentous injuries, trauma to the talus, calcaneal fractures, midfoot, and forefoot injuries. Plain x-ray film, as well as sophisticated studies, will assist in recognizing these conditions.
