Left Ankle X-Ray - Jitendra Paika, 17M
Film details (from label): Left ankle (marked "L"), AP and Lateral views, SLN MCH Koraput.
Findings
Side: LEFT ankle
Views: Two standard views are present:
- AP (Anteroposterior) view - left panel
- Lateral view - right panel
Bones assessed:
- Distal tibia and fibula
- Talus (talar dome)
- Calcaneus (heel bone)
- Tarsal bones, midfoot
Interpretation
| Feature | Finding |
|---|---|
| Distal tibia | Intact, no cortical break |
| Distal fibula / malleoli | Intact |
| Ankle mortise (AP view) | Joint space symmetric and preserved |
| Tibiotalar joint (lateral) | Talus well-seated, no subluxation |
| Subtalar / tarsal joints | Aligned, grossly normal |
| Fracture lines | None identified |
| Dislocations | None |
| Soft tissue swelling | Not prominently visible (minor glare artifact present on film) |
Growth plates: At 17 years, the distal tibial and fibular physes are near-fused or fused. Any faint residual physeal lines visible are a normal developmental finding for this age - not fractures.
Impression
No acute fracture or dislocation identified on this left ankle X-ray. Bony alignment is normal with preserved joint spaces.
Note: This is an image-based analysis to assist clinical decision-making. Final interpretation must be made by the treating physician or radiologist in the context of the patient's clinical presentation, mechanism of injury, and physical examination findings. If there is strong clinical suspicion of injury (point tenderness, inability to weight-bear), stress views, CT, or MRI may be warranted to rule out occult fractures - particularly of the talus or physeal injuries in a young patient.
