The Traumatic Ankle: A Systematic Ultrasound Approach

Join Key Opinion Leader Stephen Bird (AU) for an exclusive 90-minute live webinar exploring the ultrasound assessment of the traumatic ankle. Ankle trauma can result in a variety of injury patterns involving multiple anatomical structures. By understanding the common patterns of energy release during injury, clinicians can better predict which structures may be affected and construct a focused, systematic ultrasound examination.

During this webinar, Stephen will guide you through the clinical presentation of acute ankle trauma, six characteristic patterns of energy release, and a logical approach to ultrasound assessment. Particular attention will be given to patient and transducer positioning, ultrasound stress testing, and recognising both normal and pathological appearances of commonly injured structures.

Clinical relevance

Traumatic ankle injuries frequently involve more than one anatomical structure, making a systematic assessment essential. Understanding the mechanism of injury and its associated patterns of tissue damage helps clinicians perform a more targeted ultrasound examination. This approach can improve lesion detection, guide appropriate management and rehabilitation, and help identify injuries that may otherwise be overlooked during a routine ankle assessment.
