Description
To analyze the ankle joint stability, talar tilt measurement can be performed. This tool allows evaluating the integrity of the calcaneofibular ligament by measuring the angle between the articular surfaces of the tibia and the talus. If the angle is not 0°, it suggests instability of the ankle joint.
Measurements
The measurement made by the procedure is displayed in the image:
- Talar Tilt (TT): the angle between a line drawn parallel to the articular surface of the distal tibia and the line drawn parallel to the articular surface of the talus.
