Abstract

A 31-year-old man presented to the Rakkasan battalion aid station, located at the Qandahar Airport, Afghanistan, with complaints and physical findings consistent with those that would either support a grade III ankle sprain or fracture. The battalion aid station is an echelon I level of care. This facility does not have radiographic capabilities. With the closest radiology facility located in Seeb, Oman the 710th Explosive Ordinance Disposal team, which was operating in the area, was contacted. This unit was able to perform radiographs in a timely manner to help aid in correctly diagnosing the injury.
