Abstract
Objectives: Our aim is to demonstrate the usefulness of ultrasound in diagnosis or ankle lateral collateral ligament rupture of sprain.Methods: Six different cases of ankle injuries are presented along with cross related MR images. A high frequency (9 MHz) transducer was used as well as a 1.5 T MR scanner.Results: In all patients ultrasound managed to show the damage to the ligament as well as any concomitant tendon injury and the presence of intra-articular fluid.Conclusions: Ultrasound is a useful tool in evaluating ankle lateral collateral ligament acute injury, thus improving patient management.
