- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Positive and negative predictive value of the mortise radiograph, gravity<br /><br>stress, and stress radiograph in predicting an instable isolated Weber B ankle<br /><br>fracture (with MRI as reference standard) </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Inter- and intraobserver variability in determining stability of an ankle<br /><br>fracture on standard mortise radiograph, gravity stress and stress radiograph.<br /><br>Intrinsic variables are age, sex, and medical history. Based on the inital<br /><br>radiograph at the ER , the dislocation will be scored, together with the<br /><br>AO-classification and Laughe-Hansen classification. </p><br>
