Inclusion Criteria

  • willing & able to provide written informed consent
  • at least 18 years-old
  • have medial clear space measuring less than 5 mm with clinical suspicion of instability and would normally require a gravity stress X-ray

Exclusion Criteria

  • pregnant (females)
  • prisoners
  • open fracture
  • clinical signs of foot deformity
  • previous foot trauma or surgery on the affected foot
  • significant osteoarthritis or pre-existing ligamentous instability or pain in the affected foot
  • unable to stand in the weight bearing position during the CT scan

Outcomes
