[Long-term clinical and radiological assessment of talocrural joint stability after acute traumatic injury of ligamentous-capsular apparatus].
The author presents an assessment of clinical and radiological talocrural joint stability after acute traumatic ankle sprain treated non-operatively. Radiological evaluation of joint stability was performed using a special stand designed by the author. Joint stability was evaluated in both the sagittal and frontal planesusing Zwipp's technique, along with the author's own technique. I degree and II degree lateral and antero-lateral instability were found most often found in the 368 patient series that was examined. Joint instability was recognised more frequently radiologically than clinically.
