A specialized AP stress view of the ankle is performed when there is concern for an unstable ankle injury. There are two types of stress views: gravity and mechanical. [11] In the gravity stress view, the patient lies in the lateral decubitus position with the ankle dangling over the edge of the table to mimic the mechanical stress view.

Stress fractures can be described as small cracks in the bone, or hairline fractures. Stress fractures of the foot are sometimes called "march fractures" because of the injury's prevalence among heavily marching soldiers. [2] Stress fractures most frequently occur in weight-bearing bones of the lower extremities, such as the tibia and fibula ...
It is also classified as a Type C ankle fracture according to the Danis-Weber classification system. [4] The Maisonneuve fracture is similar to the Galeazzi fracture in the sense that there is an important ligamentous disruption in association with the fracture. [5] The fracture is named after the surgeon Jules Germain François Maisonneuve. [6]
Le Fort's fracture of the ankle is a vertical fracture of the antero-medial part of the distal fibula with avulsion of the anterior tibiofibular ligament, [1] opposite to a Tillaux-Chaput avulsion fracture. The injury was described by Léon Clément Le Fort in 1886. [2]

Fracture of both sides of the ankle with dislocation as seen on anteroposterior X-ray. (1) fibula, (2) tibia, (arrow) medial malleolus, (arrowhead) lateral malleolus. An ankle fracture is a break of one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint. [20] Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to walk on the injured ...
