Use of the basic knowledge to come to definitive diagnosis is what is meant to be a good doctor instead of heavily relying on the advances in the field of sciences. It is important to use whatever is available and try to come to a diagnosis and that’s where the study of the basic sciences comes in handy. ![]() Table 1: Left Vs Right Table 2: Male Vs Female One hundred X-Rays were collected from the Department of Radiology and the study was done. This study was done from March 2014 to February 2016. This study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Srinivasa Medical College, Mangalore. To study the normal X-Rays and try to measure normal parameters so as to be useful in diagnosing the ligament tears when there are no fractures evident on X-Rays in the west coast population. It is important to use simple X-Rays to diagnose the same. But in a nation like ours the MRI is not there in a village set up and cost factor plays a major role. It demonstrates abnormalities in the bones and soft tissues before they become evident at other imaging modalities. If the tibia is carried anteriorly, the posterior margin of the distal end of the tibia is also broken by the talus producing a trimalleolar fracture 8,9.Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has opened new horizons in the diagnosis and treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases of the ankle and foot. The strong eversion pull on the deltoid ligament causes transverse fracture of medial malleolus. In this condition at first there is an oblique fracture of shaft and lateral malleolus of fibula. Potts fracture occurs when the foot is caught in the rabbit hole in the ground and the foot is forcibly everted. At times the deltoid ligament pulls the medial malleolus thereby causing avulsion fracture of the malleolus. In forcible eversion of the foot the deltoid ligament may be torn. A sprained ankle results due to tear of anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments when the foot is twisted in lateral direction. ![]() The lateral ligament is injured more often when compared to medial. The passive stability depends on the contour of the articular surfaces, the integrity of t he collateral ligaments, the integrity of the distal tibiofibular ligaments, the reticular system around the ankle and the crossing and attached tendon tunnels 5,6,7. These require a high degree of stability which is determined by the passive and dynamic factors 2. One sixth of the static load of the leg is carried by the fibula at the tibiofibular joint 1. Ligaments of the ankle are one of the most frequently injured as we are bipeds and thus a lot of pressure is put on the bones that form the ankle and the ligaments that are under constant pressure to ascertain the tasks. The study puts in an effort to find whether the ligaments injury can be diagnosed on a simple X-Ray? ![]() The passive stability depends on the contour of the articular surfaces, the integrity of the collateral ligaments, the integrity of the distal tibiofibular ligaments, the reticular system around the ankle and the crossing and attached tendon tunnels.
