The X-ray anteroposterior view of the ankle is often performed in case of ankle trauma and suspected ankle fractures, assessment of fragment position and implants in postoperative follow-up, evaluation of fracture healing, evaluation of tibiofibular clear space and overlap in suspected syndesmotic injury evaluation of hindfoot deformities. The lateral view aids in evaluating fractures, dislocations and joint effusions surrounding the ankle joint, and helps to assess the severity of a calcaneal fracture by measuring the Böhler angle and Gissane angle.
