Projectional radiography ("X-ray")
Normal anatomy
Ankle - frontal
With potential accessory bones
15 degrees internal rotation
Lateral (this one a bit suboptimal by not seeing straight through the ankle joint)
Lateral oblique (to visualize the posterior border of the tibia)
The normal distances between the bones in the ankle are as follows:[1]
- Talus - medial malleolus : 1.70 ± 0.13 mm
- Talus - tibial plafond: 2.04 ± 0.29 mm
- Talus - lateral malleolus: 2.13 ± 0.20 mm
Decreased distances indicate osteoarthritis.
