Focus Article : Can Weight-Bearing Computed Tomography Be a Game-Changer in the Assessment of Ankle Sprain and Ankle Instability?

Key points
• The use of cone beam weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) in the diagnostic pathway of ankle sprain (AS) and chronic ankle instability (CLAI) may be crucial to reduce the number of unseen associated lesions, thus reducing the number of unnecessary immobilizations in isolated AS and supporting the prescription of appropriate immobilization where necessary…

• WBCT axial loading measurements in syndesmotic injuries is sensitized by adding external torque…

• More advanced visualization tools, such…
