Analysis of Medial Clear Space Widening in Weber B Ankle Fractures

Running, not enrolling

Conditions studied: Weber B Ankle Fractures

In brief

The investigators purpose of this study is to obtain all three standard of care stress views of the ankle (gravity stress, manual stress, weightbearing stress) to compare the amount of tibiotalar joint instability predicted by each to determine if there are significant differences measured by the differing stress techniques.

You may qualify if…

• Patients with a Weber B ankle fracture who are skeletally mature (no open physes) and older than 18 years of age.

You may not qualify if…

• Medial and/or posterior Malleolar fracture
• Any other lower extremity trauma that limits weight bearing
• Concomitant arthridities/rheumatologic disease (patients with osteoarthritis may be included)
• Prior fracture
