Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 87288
  • Image ID: 54498598
  • Image stack position: 1/3
  • Plane projection: Other
  • Study description: Annotated study
  • Study findings: For ankle joint injections with the patient in a lateral position, a true lateral projection is desired.  When positioning, the focus should be on the fibula which should be at or close to the central aspect of the tibia.  The same positioning can be used when injecting the posterior subtalar joint under fluoroscopy.
  • Modality: Fluoroscopy
  • System: Musculoskeletal
  • Findings: In a right lateral position, pre-procedure fluoroscopy optimized orientation to obtain a true lateral ankle projection.  The dorsalis pedis pulse was palpated then followed and marked proximally.  Small amount of 1% lidocaine to skin.  Targeting the anterior ankle joint and using a 25 gauge 40mm needle with an 'off-plane' technique the joint was cannulated.  Injection of iodinated contrast confirms an intra-articular position.
