FIGURE 33-2. Bimalleolar ankle fractures: open reduction and internal fixation. A: The anteroposterior radiograph demonstrates an isolated fibula fracture. B: A stress view, taken with external rotation of the foot with the ankle in dorsiflexion, documents medial clear space widening and talar shift.

FIGURE 47-7. (continued) Anteroposterior (B) and lateral (C) radiographs show an unstable supination-external rotation stage IV ankle fracture with the characteristic oblique distal fibula fracture and a medial side injury. D: An anteroposterior radiograph of a supination-adduction ankle fracture with a transverse fibula fracture and an impacted medial malleolar fracture.

FIGURE 47-9. Schematic diagram and case examples of the AO/OTA classification of ankle fractures. A: There are three types of ankle fractures in the AO/OTA classification: type A, type B, and type C. Each type is further subdivided into three groups. B: An anteroposterior radiograph of a type A distal fibula fracture in which the fracture line is completely below the level of the syndesmosis. C: A radiograph of a type B ankle fracture in which the fibula fracture begins anteriorly at the l...

FIG. 22.37. A radiograph of the left ankle of a 10-year-old boy notable only for soft-tissue swelling localized to the distal fibula (arrows). If the patient is tender over the growth plate, the presumptive diagnosis is a Salter-Harris type I injury.
