Ankle Fractures

Description

Mr Donatas Chlebinskas gives his expert insights and discusses the use of CT scans in the management of ankle fractures, highlighting the guidelines that recommend CT imaging specifically for complex injuries involving the posterior malleolus. He emphasizes that this imaging technique is not routine, but rather a targeted step for cases where standard radiographs do not provide sufficient information for confident surgical planning. Furthermore, Mr Chlebinskas clarifies that CT scans are not advised for ankle sprains unless there is suspicion of an osteochondral lesion with limited access to MRI.
