Figure 1.

Algorithm for assessment of anteroposterior and lateral x-rays of the ankle.

1. inspection around the fibula (yellow)

2. inspection around the tibia (pink)

3. inspection around the talus (purple)

4. check tibiotalar distance

5. check fibulotalar distance

6. final check of tibiotalar and fibulotalar joint congruence

7. inspection around the fibula

8. inspection around the tibia

9. inspection around the talus and calcaneus

10. check tibiotalar joint congruence

11. check cyma line (Chopart joint line)
