Abstract

This paper discusses MR imaging in injuries to the lateral collateral ankle ligaments. Based on recent publications and our own results MR imaging may be useful for demonstration of ankle ligament tears. However, clinical outcome can probably not be predicted by such diagnosis. MR imaging may still be useful in certain settings, such as suspected additional trauma to medial ligaments, bone, or articular cartilage. In chronic pain MR imaging may be indicated for demonstration of articular bodies, occult fractures, significant cartilage damage, tendon injuries and dislocations, and soft tissue scars.
