OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the ability of the Lauge-Hansen classification to predict @entity130 in @entity1171 using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative findings. DESIGN: Prospective evaluation in consecutive @entity1 . SETTING: Academic level 1 @entity130 center. @entity1 : Three-hundred @entity1 with an operatively treated @entity1171 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. INTERVENTION: @entity3681 radiographs were assigned to a Lauge-Hansen classification. MRI scans were obtained to evaluate the syndesmotic and deltoid ligaments. A Lauge-Hansen classification for each @entity1 was recorded based on intraoperative findings. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Comparisons were made between the predicted ankle @entity130 based on radiographic Lauge-Hansen classifications, preoperative MRI analyses, and intraoperative findings. RESULTS: On the basis of the Lauge-Hansen system and injury radiographs, 77% (231/300) were classified as supination external rotation, 13% (40/300) were pronation external rotation, 4% (11/300) were supination adduction, <1% (1/300) was pronation abduction, and 6% (17/300) were not classifiable. Of the 283 fractures that were classified into Lauge-Hansen classes, 266 (94%) had MRI readings of @entity130 consistent with the Lauge-Hansen predictions. Intraoperative findings also highly correlated with the Lauge-Hansen class of @entity1171 , with nearly complete agreement. Comparing MRI and intraoperative findings revealed discrepancies in 6% (16/283) of @entity1171 classifications. CONCLUSIONS: In our large cohort of @entity1 , comparisons between injury radiographs, preoperative MRI, and intraoperative findings suggest that the Lauge-Hansen system is an accurate predictor of @entity130 . The predictions based on the Lauge-Hansen system can be useful for @entity174 reduction maneuvers and operative planning. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic Level II.
