Abstract and keywords

The author gives an account of the different clinical and roentgenological methods that are used today in diagnosing ligament injuries and fractures of the ankle. Therapeutically the importance of an anatomically satisfactory and preferably stable joint reconstruction is emphasized in order to reduce the frequency of ankle instability and arthrosis deformans. Probably most of the problems in ankle traumatology are already solved; however, total joint replacements may become a valuable contribution to our therapeutic arsenal.

Keywords: ankle lesions; anterior drawer test; arthrosis deformans; avulsion
