Radiographic measurement of anterior talar translation in the ankle: determination of the most reliable method

Interpretation. Based on the findings from this study, it can be concluded that measurement of the distance between the posterior lip of the distal tibia and the talar dome is the method of choice to characterize the position of the talus relative to the tibia in stress radiography. In order to standardize the radiographic evaluation of ankle injuries, this method should be the one employed to measure anterior talar translation.
