Projectional radiography ("X-ray")

15 degrees internal rotation
- X-ray of normal ankle - lateral.jpg
Lateral (this one a bit suboptimal by not seeing straight through the ankle joint)
- X-ray of normal ankle - lateral oblique.jpg
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.
