Now, let’s take a look at one of the questions included in the guide.

With respect to ankle fractures, which of the following is correct?

A) 3 mm of talar shift leads to a decrease in tibiotalar contact by 50%
B) A medial clear space > 4 mm is indicative of a deltoid ligament injury
C) Concomitant osteochondral fractures of the talar dome are uncommon
D) Syndesmosis injuries can only occur with a Weber C type fracture of the lateral malleolus
E) The majority of fractures are due to a pronation external rotation injury

The correct answer is B. Normally, the medial clear space (between the talus and medial malleolus) should be less than 4 mm. When the medial space is greater than 4 mm, then a lateral shift of the talus is present. This is indicative of a deltoid ligament injury. The other options are incorrect. For example, 3 mm of talar shift actually decreases tibiotalar contact by 50%, but this is not the correct answer to the question.
