AbstractThe ankle gravity stress view (GSV) is often utilized to elucidate instability in patients with an apparent, isolated lateral malleolus fracture. While this has been demonstrated to have advantages over the manual external rotation stress test, positioning in the lateral decubitus position can be difficult, uncomfortable and time-intensive. We report a simple and safe technique that allows one to obtain a gravity stress view of the ankle with the patient seated.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
