(Bontrager, K., 2001) The distal one third of the lower leg is included. The lateral and medial malleoli is visible. The talus as well as half of the proximal metatarsals is also demonstrated. Also visible is the distal tibiofibular joint and the calcaneus. The soft tissues can be seen. No superimposition of the anterior tubercle of the tibia and the superolateral aspect of the talus.
Abnormalities:
(Smithuis, R. 2012) Webber B fracture is seen. The medial malleolus (tibia) is fractured horizontally and the lateral malleolus (fibula) is fractured obliquely in a puss off manner. In this case the anterior tibiofibular ligament may be ruptured. This has resulted from exorotation force onto a supinated foot.
PACEMAN:
P – Positioning is good;
