Talar Tilt Test | Ankle Sprain | Inversion Trauma<\/h2>\nThe Talar Tilt Test is a common orthopedic test to be performed after an inversion trauma in order to assess the lateral ankle ligaments.\nIt assesses the lateral ligaments of the ankle in three different positions. This way, the anterior talofibular ligament, the calcaneofibular ligament as well as the posterior talofibular ligament can be assessed. In the fourth step, the test assesses the deltoid ligament complex on the medial side of the ankle.\n\nAccording to Hertel et al. (1999)<\/a> the talar tilt test has a sensitivity of 50% and a specificity of 88% in the diagnosis of lateral ankle sprains.\nRosen et al. (2015) rated the test on it's ability to detect talocrural and subtalar joint instability by the degree of gapping and found a sensitivity of 4% and specificity values ranging from 78-88%. For this reason, the test's clinical value is moderate.\n

In order to test the anterior talofibular ligament (aTFL), bring your patient\u2019s foot into plantarflexion, so that the aTFL is perpendicular to the movement that you are going to perform. Then grab the calcaneus and perform inversion.\n\nIn order to test the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), bring your patient\u2019s foot into the anatomical position, so that this ligament is perpendicular to the long axis of the talus. Then bring the foot into inversion and eversion. The eversion part of this test, stresses the deltoid ligament complex on the medial side. And lastly, to put the most stress on the posterior talofibular ligament (pTFL), bring the foot into maximal dorsiflexion and perform the same movement again.\n\nThis test in different positions is considered positive, if the patient reports pain or if you find excessive gapping compared with the unaffected side.\n\n[cta]\n\nAnother common test to assess for ligament injuries at the ankle is the Anterior Drawer Test<\/a> at the ankle.\n\n \n"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"content-content","section_options":{"vertical_alignment":"top","column_right_box":false,"column_left_width":"col-12 col-lg-4 offset"},"column_left":{"content_editor":"
