Reason: eval for atfl tear History: ankle pain for months TENDONS: The anterior, medial, and lateral tendon complexes are within normal limits. The Achilles tendon appears normal.LIGAMENTS: There is a partial thickness tear of the anterior tibiofibular ligament (axial T1 image 14) with surrounding T2 hyperintensity suggestive of edema. The anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments are intact.ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: T2 hyperintensity and T1 hypointensity in the distal tibial metaphysis suggests bone contusion. No osteochondral defect is identified. ADDITIONAL
Partial thickness tear of the anterior tibiofibular ligament. Bone contusion in the distal tibial metaphysis. The anterior talofibular ligament is within normal limits as clinically queried.
