  1. Ankle fracture A Baltimore City firefighter injured his ankle in a fall while responding to a call. Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology

  2. Transverse fracture of fibula. Compound fracture of tibia. Dislocation of distal fibula relative to the talus. Complete disruption of distal tibiofibular joint. Kinesiology and Applied Physiology

  3. Talocrural joint is sometimes compared to mortise and tenon joint. Talocrural joint, unlike furniture joint, must allow movement while maintaining stability. . Image: Wikipedia.

  5. Normal left ankle, anterior view. Radiograph after third (final) surgery. Anterior view. Internal fixation on fibula and tibia. Notice the similarity between the repaired talocrural joint (tibia, fibula, talus) and the normal talocrural joint. An excellent repair at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
