title: Procedure-oriented sectional anatomy of the ankle.
abstract: This is the sixth in a series of articles related to procedure-oriented joint anatomy. This article reviews the anatomy of the ankle and its relationship to procedures in the clinical setting with or without ultrasound guidance. Anatomically correct axial and oblique axial schematics allow injections to be envisioned relative to clinically important anatomy for common ankle procedures. Cross-sectional schematics for the ankle were drawn as they appear in imaging projections. The levels and planes of cross section were selected to highlight important anatomic landmarks for injection. It is hoped these schematics allow for safer and more accurate needle procedures in the ankle area.
