Abstract：Objective To compare the clinical effects of ankle anteroposterior and lateral views combined with foot anteroposterior and oblique views with only ankle anteroposterior and lateral views and only foot anteroposterior and oblique views in the diagnosis of distal fibular epiphyseal injuries, and to confirm that plaster external ifxation is needed for the patients whose distal ifbular epiphyseal injuries are clearly diagnosed. Methods A total of 196 patients who had ankle sprain or lateral malleolus swelling from January 2014 to May 2015 were selected. There were 100 males and 96 females, whose mean age was ( 9.0 ± 5.8 ) years old ( range:3-15 years old ). The mean course of disease was ( 10 ± 8.2 ) hours ( range:2-18 hours ). The sensitivity, speciifcity and accuracy were counted by only taking ankle anteroposterior and lateral views, only taking foot anteroposterior and oblique views or both 2 kinds of views. Results Through the comparison of the indicators for diagnosis in the above 3 methods, the correct rates of the ankle anteroposterior and lateral views combined with foot anteroposterior and oblique views, only the ankle anteroposterior and lateral views and only the foot anteroposterior and oblique views were 92.3%, 72.4%and 86.7%. Conclusions Compared with only the ankle anteroposterior and lateral views and only the foot anteroposterior and oblique views, the method of combined both 2 views is superior.
