Abstract

Although various automobile accident surveys showed between 20 to 30% of lower extremity injuries involved the foot or ankle, there is little information in the existing literature on the injury mechanisms of ankle injuries for automobile occupants involved in frontal impacts. This study addresses the injury to ankles involving dorsiflexion caused by impact loading to the bottom of the foot.
