Fall a few days ago. Ankle pain. Anterior tibial pain. Evaluate for fracture. Right ankle: There is mild soft tissue swelling, but I see no fracture or malalignment. The Achilles tendon silhouette is indistinct, and while this may simply be due to overlying soft tissue swelling, if there is clinical concern for Achilles tendon rupture, MRI may be considered for further evaluation.Right tibia/fibula: I see no fracture or other specific findings to account for the patient's anterior tibial pain.
