Analysis of Medial Clear Space Widening in Weber B Ankle Fractures
Sponsor: University of Utah
Summary
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.
