In this module covering the lateral ankle, the technique to evaluate the three ligaments comprising the lateral collateral ligamentous complex is covered. Also included are scanning tips on how to maneuver the probe to eliminate anisotropy of the tendons. The need to change transducer frequencies when assessing deeper structures is explained. Jamie also demonstrates how important the dynamic evaluation is in assessing the stability of the peroneal tendons, checking for subluxation or dislocation of the tendons anterior to the fibula.
