Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To propose a novel radiographic measurement showing relationship between the spike of the medial cortex of the lateral malleolus (Weber nose) and the tibial plafond.
And to determine its normal value and reliability.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The normal value of a novel radiographic measurement showing relationship between the Weber nose and the tibial plafond.

Key secondary outcomes

Inter- and intraobserver reliability of the measurement.
Difference between right and left ankles.
Correlation with age, sex,talocrural angle, and length of lateral malleolus (an existing measurement).
Difference between non-weight bearing and weight bearing conditions.

Interventions/Control_1

Right and left ankle X-rays (mortise view) are taken in non-weight bearing and weight bearing conditions. Three observers measure the following three measurements (one of the observers measures twice at least two weeks apart).
A. Talocrural angle.
B. Length of lateral malleolus.
C. A distance between the line tangent to the tibial plafond and the tip of the Weber nose (this is defined as "fibular variance, FV").
D. A value obtained by dividing the value of C by the distance between the tibial plafond and the upper aspect of the talus (this is defined as "fibular variance index, FVI").
The following are evaluated; the normal value of FV and FVI, their inter- and intraobserver reliability, the difference between the right and left ankle, the difference between non-weight bearing and weight bearing conditions, and the correlations with the talocrural angle, length of lateral malleolus, age, and sex.
