Correlation Between Weber Classification of Ankle Fractures and Medial Clear Space Widening on Radiography

This study evaluates the relationship between Weber ankle fracture types and medial clear space widening, demonstrating increased instability and deltoid ligament injury risk, particularly in more complex Weber C fractures.

Educational Objectives

Educational Aim:

To understand the relationship between Weber ankle fracture classification and medial clear space widening, and its significance in assessing deltoid ligament injury and ankle instability.

Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of:

1. Weber classification and its clinical relevance in ankle fractures.
2. Medial clear space measurements in diagnosing deltoid ligament injury.
3. Fracture patterns associated with increased ankle instability.
4. The clinical implications of associated malleolar fractures on ligament injury.
