ABSTRACT

This article reviews the most common foot and ankle injuries that the general radiologist and general orthopedic surgeon are likely to encounter. Fractures and dislocations seen in children and adults are included as well as soft tissue injuries. Ankle fracture classification schemes are discussed briefly. Techniques for advanced imaging with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) are discussed where appropriate.

KEYWORD
