| Abstract | ||
| Fractures of the ankle joint are among the commonest fractures in adults. For a good long-term functional outcome to be achieved, reliable early evaluation is crucial. CT is the modality of choice for ankle joint fracture, axial and coronal views are essential for diagnosis. MDCT has revolutionized our understanding and characterization of these fractures and their management. Fracture characterization is essential to guide the management of these injuries. The use of MDCT with MPR and 3D reformatted images allow better visualization of fracture lines, dislocation and comminuted fractures and optimal evaluation of the injury .Ankle fractures are classified according to the part affected. If the fibular part affected it is classified according to the Weber classification, which is the most common and the simplest. If the calcaneal part is affected, it is classified in to extra articular fractures and intra articular fractures which also further classified according to Sander's classification. If the tibial part is affected it is classified according to the “ - ” classification. Associated soft tissue injury and tendon injury and muscle injury are important to be evaluated before treatment of the fracture. | ||
