Diagnostic Methods Ankle Joint

103 patients with ankle injuries were examined. 81.3% of patients complained of pain. In 78.0% of patients, joint function was impaired, in 58.8% — joint deformation, in 72.9% — swelling in the joint area, in 79.6% — soreness in the projection of interbercular syndesmosis, in 87.7% — different severity of joint movement restriction. When analyzing radiographs, fractures of one or two ankles, foot subvisions both outside and behind, fractures of the posterior edge of the tibia were detected. The Foot and Ankle Disease Assessment Scale of the American Foot and Ankle Orthopedic Association (AOFAS) was used to objectively assess the functional state of the ankle joint. Known clinical and radiological methods of examination of the ankle joint make it possible for a person skilled in the art to detect damage to both the bone structure and the ligament apparatus. However, for objective assessment of the functional state of the ankle joint and foot, it is recommended to use scales of clinical assessment of the ankle joint state.
