We stand by our conclusion that gravity stress radiographs are equivalent to manual stress radiographs for determining deltoid ligament injury in association with an isolated fibular fracture. In order to further clarify this, we reviewed radiographs after the initial study end point (up to October 2007). There were an additional eight supination-external rotation (SER) type-II fractures and nineteen SER type-IV fractures with adequate radiographs. Medial clear space measurements were again made with use of the same PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System). These results were then added to the previously published results.
