Tendon Structure and Treatment

We prospectively evaluated subtalar inversion stress views (Brodén view) with inversion stress views on helical CT in a group of 10 patients with unilateral instability. The contralateral, asymptomatic ankle was used as control. All patients were examined with inversion stress views on plain stress radiography and helical CT. Subtalar tilt was demonstrated in all cases on conventional stress radiography. Helical CT didn't show tilting in any of the patients except in the subluxated posteromedial part of the subtalar joint. Our data do not support prior reports that the Brodén view is useful for screening patients with subtalar instability.
