[Invasive and non-invasive radiologic diagnosis of talofibular ligament lesions (author's transl)].

A report is given on 413 patients having experienced a supination trauma. All these patients were submitted to radiography according to the technics of Böhler. Arthrographies of the ankle joint were additionally effected in 105 patients because of indistinct findings of the Böhler radiographs. The arthrography of the ankle joint proves to be an examination method bearing few risks and producing most reliable results provided that it is executed within 24 hours after the traumatic incident. The findings of arthrography of the ankle joint are presented and discussed.
