CONTACT: contact@dworska.pl | +48 12 352 25 25

In order to exclude an ankle fracture, an X-ray of the ankle joint is recommended. This is especially recommended in the case of severe pain and massive swelling and the inability to load the limb in the three-step test. Ankle ultrasound should be performed in every case of ankle sprain to assess the efficiency of the damaged ligaments and to exclude the presence of complications in the pathology of other soft tissues.
