Vertical Distance Between Medial and Lateral Malleolus in Normal Population

March 30, 2021 updated by: Michael Lotfy Makin, Assiut University

Radiological Assessment of Vertical Distance Between Medial and Lateral Malleolus in Normal Population

Determine variation in vertical distance between the medial and lateral malleolus in the normal population subjected to X-rays for any other causes than ankle fracture Determine the effect of weight bearing on this variation

Detailed Description

There is gap of knowledge about determination of vertical distance between medial and lateral malleolus Our research will cover this gap of knowledge ,so our research question will be what is the normal variation of vertical distance between medial and lateral malleolus Fractures of ankle are common injuries,approximately 2% of the general population will sustain an ankle fracture during their life time .many can be successfully treated non operatively However,for those injuries that require surgical intervention ,restoration of the anatomy is the main principle The importance of anatomic restoration of the fibula ,specially in preserving normal length has been appreciated by several authors Data will be obtained from measuring the vertical distance between lateral and medial malleolus in AP view of ankle in traumatic non ankle fractured people in standing and non standing position
