Brief summary

Determine variation in vertical distance between the medial and lateral malleolus in the normal population subjected to X-rays for any other causes than ankle fracture Determine the effect of weight bearing on this variation

Detailed description

There is gap of knowledge about determination of vertical distance between medial and lateral malleolus Our research will cover this gap of knowledge ,so our research question will be what is the normal variation of vertical distance between medial and lateral malleolus Fractures of ankle are common injuries,approximately 2% of the general population will sustain an ankle fracture during their life time .many can be successfully treated non operatively However,for those injuries that require surgical intervention ,restoration of the anatomy is the main principle The importance of anatomic restoration of the fibula ,specially in preserving normal length has been appreciated by several authors Data will be obtained from measuring the vertical distance between lateral and medial malleolus in AP view of ankle in traumatic non ankle fractured people in standing and non standing position

MeasureTime frameDescription
Vertical distance between medial and lateral malleolus Radiologically1 year•All ankle X rays will be collected periodically through the PAC system (in Emergency Room and out patient clinics )•Using talocrural angle and tabiofibular overlapping to verify normal ankle anatomy as well as exclusion of those X rays in exclusion criteria
