title: Traumatic classifications of the foot and ankle.
abstract: Many authors have presented classification systems for traumatic injuries to the foot and ankle. These systems of classification have been based on many factors (e.g., mechanism of injury, fracture pattern, fracture position and location). The most commonly used traumatic classification systems of the foot and ankle are reviewed. The staging, mechanism of injury, radiologic appearance, diagrammatic and radiologic examples are discussed.
