| Popis: | We retrospectively evaluated the lateral collateral ligamentous complex of 43 patients who had complained of ankle pain following ankle sprain. The MR signs of ligamentous abnormality included discontinuity or absence, increased signal within the ligament, and ligamentous irregularity or waviness with normal thickness and signal intensity. Using these criteria, 30 anterior talofibular, 20 calcaneofibular, and no posterior talofibular ligament injuries were diagnosed. Compared with surgery (nine patients), MRI demonstrated six of seven anterior talofibular ligament injuries and six of six calcaneofibular ligament injuries. Magnetic resonance showed ligamentous abnormalities in 12 of 23 cases with normal stress radiography. Magnetic resonance imaging provides useful information for the evaluation of patients presenting with chronic pain after ankle sprain. |
