- Discussion:
- on
mortise view line formed by subchondral bone of distal tibia &
medial spect of the fibula should be continuous;
- articlar surface of talus should be congruous w/ that of distal fibula
(called tibiofibular line);
- disruption of this line indicates:
- shortening
- rotation
- lateral displacement fibula;
- tear in portion of
syndesmotic ligaments;
