title: [CT of the upper ankle joint. Anatomy--pathology].
abstract: Diagnosis of ligament ruptures via the possibilities of conventional radiology is often insufficient. To verify CT efficiency, postmortem specimens were scanned in axial, coronal and sagittal planes and compared with anatomical findings of sections in identical planes. After the preliminary examinations we conducted a study on 32 patients. The examinations of the anterior talofibular ligament showed a correlation between CT and operative findings in 30 of 32 cases.
