Abstract
In 7 adult volunteers, a roentgen stereophotogrammetric technique was used to analyze the tibiofibular relationship during active unloaded movements of the ankle. The greatest movements were observed during plantar to dorsiflex-ion with an average widening of the ankle mortise of 1.0 mm and an average dorsal translation of the fibula of 0.9 mm. No significant rotation of the fibula could be revealed.
