Ankle Joint

1.7K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) requires accurate imaging for diagnosis and management.
  • Various imaging modalities are utilized, each with specific strengths.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize imaging methods for diagnosing and managing CLAI.
  • To provide an algorithmic approach to imaging in CLAI.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging techniques including plain radiographs, stress radiographs, ultrasonography (US), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
  • Discussion of the advantages and limitations of each modality.
  • Inclusion of illustrative cases and an algorithmic approach.

Main Results:

  • Plain radiographs are used for initial assessment.
  • Stress radiographs actively detect instability.
  • US offers dynamic evaluation, while MRI is crucial for surgical planning and assessing associated lesions.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive approach utilizing multiple imaging modalities is essential for CLAI.
  • MRI plays a vital role in pre-surgical evaluation.
  • Imaging guides diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment planning for CLAI.
