$2000 Arthroscopic findings in acute fractures of the ankle$ We have evaluated prospectively the arthroscopic findings in acute fractures of the ankle in 288 consecutive patients.
Lesions of the cartilage were found in 228 ankles (79.2%), more often on the talus (69.4%) than on the distal tibia (45.8%), the fibula (45.1%), or the medial malleolus (41.3%). There were more...

The presence of an ankle effusion on plain radiographs following acute ankle trauma is suggestive of an underlying fracture. An ankle effusion of 13 mm or greater in total capsular distension has a positive predictive value of 82% for occult fracture and is a reasonable threshold to prompt additional...
