In a prospective consecutive investigation radiologic tests for lateral and anterior instability in acute ankle distortion were found to be reliable indications of lateral ligament ruptures. Arthrography of the ankle joint was used as reference. Absence of instability, however, gives little information as to the ligamental status. The size of this group constitutes a clinical problem. Better results are achieved by combining lateral and anterior instability tests. If only one test is used, the anterior instability test should be preferred. The results of the two tests bare no relation to the degree of ligament ruptures found at operation.
在一项前瞻性连续研究中，发现针对急性踝关节扭伤进行的外侧和前侧不稳定的放射学检查是外侧韧带断裂的可靠指征。踝关节造影被用作参考。然而，无不稳定表现对于韧带状况几乎提供不了什么信息。该组的规模构成一个临床问题。联合使用外侧和前侧不稳定检查可取得更好的结果。如果只采用一项检查，应首选前侧不稳定检查。这两项检查的结果与手术中发现的韧带断裂程度无关。
