Review the anatomy and biomechanics of the ankle joint and understand ligament and osseous injuries including osteochondral, Weber, triplane, pilon, lateral process talus and juvenile Tillaux.

Illustrate the anatomy and biomechanics of the osseous, myotendinous and ligamentous structures of the ankle joint, including the tibiotalar and distal tibio-fibular joints and the ankle mortise.  Describe and demonstrate the classification of common injuries involving the ankle joint, including Weber classification of distal tibia and fibula injuries, osteochondral injury of the talus, pilon, triplane, lateral process talus and juvenile Tillaux,  using radiographs, 2D and 3D MDCT and MRI. Discuss a practical approach to describing the findings, recognizing the pitfalls in imaging of ankle trauma and understand what not to miss when reporting findings to the clinicians.
