Research Article: The feasibility of diagnosing sprained ankle via 3D MRI reconstructing three-dimensional model of anterior talofibular ligament

Date Published: 2024-12-19

Abstract:
Introduction: The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is the most vulnerable ligament in ankle sprains. Most patients recover after this injury with conservative treatment, while 20%—40% progress to chronic ankle instability that requires surgical stabilization. Conventional MRI does not provide a comprehensive image of the ATFL. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using 3D MRI to facilitate the understanding of ATFL injuries and the operative planning.
