Ankle Fractures
Diagnosis of Ankle Fractures
X-rays (See also Diagnosis .) To check for fractures, doctors examine and gently feel (palpate) the ankle. If they suspect a fracture, they take several x-rays to confirm (or rule out) the fracture. Based on results of the examination and x-rays, doctors determine whether the ankle is stable or not. Then they can determine the best treatment.
