The ankle is stabilized by three sets of ligaments: the medial collateral (deltoid) ligament, the syndesmotic ligamentous complex, and the lateral collateral ligament. Of these three, the lateral collateral ligament is the one most often injured in ankle sprains. Assessment of the extent of injury has classically relied on clinical evaluation; plain film radiographs (including stress views); and, in some acute situations, ankle arthrography and/or peroneal tenography. In this report we illustrate the use of MR in the evaluation of the lateral collateral ligament. The normal anatomy, pitfalls in image interpretation, and findings in cases of ligamentous injury are demonstrated.

D008023 Ligaments, Articular Fibrous cords of CONNECTIVE TISSUE that attach bones to each other and hold together the many types of joints in the body.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
