He fell because he was dizzy. They are checking to see if his brain is still there.

They usually give a ct on this injury to see the soft tissue and ligaments better. They might also do a ct if they’re looking for cancer in the ankle.

Thank you for being honest about this, while everyone else is looking for something that isn't there

CT does little for soft tissue. You want MRI for that.

-MRI tech

But yeah, people need to stop freaking out. Trump got exceptional care with COVID. So will Biden. They are more important than us plebs. Just a fact.

No doubt, the CT would be done for fractures. You're just not going to see and soft tissue detail.

CT scans for fractures are also used for bones that are broken in multiple places or that aren't healing.

Actually ligaments and tendons tear away from bone before tearing as they're that much stronger than bone, especially joe's frail shit. You don't give someone higher radiation burden really trying to pin down a sprain or hairline fracture. If they have pain and there was swelling and no notable large fracture on XR give a boot and say bye.

He’s not even going to make it to January. President Kamala will be pushed!

Gallows. Have you seen what ammo costs? She ain't worth it, unless we get an anonymous donor to cover it.

If his ankle is so jacked, why is he walking?

incogneato 9 points ago +10 / -1

no cane, no crutches, no nothing - full weight bearing on "hairline fractures"

seriously why would they let him walk unsupported on a fractured ankle?

Fitted for ankle brarces. We can hope!

If he really hurt his ankle or his foot was broken he wouldn’t be walking on it that’s a fake. They’re taking him to put on his ankle bracelet because he broke the law that’s why

Stroke. The ankle is a diversion for his “inability to walk” for the six weeks.

Might need a CT scan for a black eye. Done fucked up son and got caught

FAKE.

He's not sniffing her hair, and the hairs on his leg aren't standing up.

I hope it's something bigger, he is a traitor to America and democracy and corrupt and crooked to the core. May he die in agony only to see the election results overturned before Christmas, Kek wills it so.

Nah, he doesn't get to go out on his own terms. Traitors stand trial.

I have specialized knowledge of this subject, and this assertion is a red herring. CT scans are done for ankle injuries all the time. They are quite sensitive for subtle hairline fractures and avulsions and such, which may not be well seen on plain X-rays. They can also provide some limited information about effusions, ligamentous tears, and other soft tissue abnormalities, although MRI is more useful for the soft tissues.

2
HumbleCheeseFarmer 2 points ago +2 / -0

Meh... in general, hairline fractures aren't anything you'd "fix" anyway. But I've heard plenty of GP's order CT's or MRI's of ankle sprains that really add 0 value to the actual diagnosis over what a basic weight bearing XRay would have shown.

On an ankle sprain, there is always some damage to ligaments and soft tissue. (Hence, the swelling.) Normal usually follows: XRay, no breaks / displaced breaks, boot, and follow up in a few weeks for further diagnostics if necessary. Something bad? Possible further imaging and / or surgery.

Not disputing that this may be a red herring, but for those 'pedes that don't have great insurance... definitely question further imaging as to what they are hoping to see / not see and why they feel they need to order it over a weight bearing XRay.

(Could be a good reason, or perhaps inexperience of the GP, or maybe they own the imaging machine and have to pay the bills, etc... )

Precaution because of age and a fall.

Looking for cancer in the ankle? CT scan shouldn’t have been necessary when an ordinary X-ray would do the trick.

He’s had his skull opened up twice for brain surgeries. They need to check if his already damaged brain was affected by the fall.

Cancer ?

BringThePaine 1 point ago +1 / -0

Would likely be looking for DVT/PE. Especially with as old as he is.

CT for his brain, probably. But they can't say that because then the jig is up.

So he's walking with foot fractures? Looks like he's pictured upright.

Nothing new here, a CT scan is standard procedure.

Stop, CT scans are very common to find fractures..people stop fishing for something not there
