title: [Imaging of traumatic injuries of the foot and ankle].
abstract: Traumatic injuries of the foot and ankle are frequent and constitute a true public health problem with over 6000 daily cases in France. The complex anatomy of this area and its association to other injuries in polytraumatized patients can lead to delayed diagnosis with worsened functional prognosis. Accurate diagnosis relies on good knowledge of osseous and ligamentous lesions and their associations and sometimes requires the use of additional imaging techniques including US and CT.
