Radiographic evaluation and classification of ankle fractures

This educational session covers the key radiographic findings and decision-making process in the evaluation of ankle fractures. It emphasizes the importance of medial clear space, tibiofibular overlap, and syndesmotic integrity in determining stability. Through case-based X-ray examples, the lecture distinguishes between stable and unstable fracture patterns. Criteria for surgical versus non-operative treatment are clearly outlined.
