Video Summary
The video demonstrates a detailed protocol for examining and diagnosing injuries in the ankle, focusing on ligaments, tendons, and nerves. The process begins with the patient positioned for optimal access, often seated or supine with specific foot placements to facilitate movement and scanning. The protocol covers a thorough evaluation of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and other lateral ligaments using dynamic scanning and stress testing. Anatomical positions of ligaments are likened to clock face positions for clarity in identification. The discussion highlights common injuries like tears, with special attention to the involvement of tendons such as peroneus longus and brevis, and accessory muscles potentially causing pain. Techniques for identifying neurovascular structures, such as the superficial peroneal nerve and sural nerve, are also presented. Proper scanning practices using ultrasound for various ankle structures are emphasized, alongside considerations for identifying abnormalities and their implications.
