Bilateral frontal radiograph of the ankles with internal rotational stress applied to the feet demonstrating lateral talar tilt of the right ankle.
Case Discussion
A stress view is useful for determining the integrity of the syndesmotic ligaments, with obvious asymmetry seen in this case.
The patient indicated numerous inversion ankle injuries in the past 2 years playing sport, suggesting a chronic injury leading to instability.
