Left ankle pain TENDONS: No significant abnormality noted.LIGAMENTS: There is is bowing, irregularity, and increased signal at the fibular attachment at the the anterior talofibular ligament suggesting the presence of at least a partial tear versus full thickness tearing with associated scarring. There is adjacent fluid. The calcaneofibular and posterior talofibular ligaments are intact. The distal tibiofibular syndesmotic complex is intact. The deep portion of the deltoid ligament appears slightly edematous but without discrete tear.ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: Increased marrow signal is noted within the medial half of the talus. A discrete fracture line is not seen however. There is a small tibiotalar joint effusion.ADDITIONAL
1. Tear of the anterior talofibular ligament as above. The remaining ligaments of the ankle are otherwise intact.2. Nonspecific edema within the medial half of the talus which may reflect a bone contusion.
