The mortise view is a radiographic technique used to assess the ankle joint. It provides a clear image of the joint space and articulating surfaces, aiding in the diagnosis of various ankle conditions. To obtain this view, the patient's foot is placed in a neutral position, with the toes pointing upward and the leg aligned at a 90-degree angle. The X-ray beam is directed towards the inner aspect of the ankle joint, passing through the talus and tibia. This helps visualize the mortise joint, formed by the distal tibia and fibula, with the talus nestled between them. Common pathologies identified through this view include fractures, dislocations, and osteoarthritis. The mortise view allows for proper assessment of joint congruity, determining if the talus is aligned correctly between the tibia and fibula. If there is any malalignment, it can indicate ligamentous injury or disruption, which might require further evaluation. This radiographic technique is valuable in both acute injuries and chronic conditions, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms and severity of ankle joint pathology. The mortise view is crucial for orthopedic specialists, aiding in treatment planning, surgical decision-making, and providing an objective evaluation of the ankle joint's condition.
