What is the point of both AP and Mortise ankle views?

Which view do radiologists take measurements from? Are they both useful for diagnosing ligamentous damage ect? I have been on prac and asking all of the radiographers because we have been doing both as per department protocol but no one can really explain it to me! Would a radiologist please explain what view they prefer using (if not both) and why? Thanks
