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.
使用踝关节应力位X线片来评估踝关节不稳很常见。然而，大多数研究报告称采用手动方法施加应力，这增加了医生所受的辐射暴露。此外，正如其他研究中所报道的，在施加应力时，不同检查者根据其力量和经验施加的力可能会有所不同。在本技术说明中，我们描述了评估踝关节不稳的首选方法，即使用内翻或外翻应力，避免了在X线检查室需要医生在场的情况。
