Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Acute isolated distal fibula fracture with a MCS

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Medial clear space >6mm and/or MCS>SCS+2mm on standard mortise X-ray Contra-indication for MRI Mental retardation No competence of Dutch language Bi- or trimalleolar ankle fracture

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Positive and negative predictive value of the mortise radiograph, gravity stress, and stress radiograph in predicting an instable isolated Weber B ankle fracture (with MRI as reference standard)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Inter- and intraobserver variability in determining stability of an ankle fracture on standard mortise radiograph, gravity stress and stress radiograph. Intrinsic variables are age, sex, and medical history. Based on the inital radiograph at the ER , the dislocation will be scored, together with the AO-classification and Laughe-Hansen classification.	—
