    Author: Tochigi Y, Yoshinaga K, Wada Y, Moriya H.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Int; 1998 Nov; 19(11):730-4. PubMed ID: 9840199.
    Abstract:
    This study was undertaken to compare the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging results of 24 patients who had sustained ligament injuries after acute inversion injury of the ankle. On magnetic resonance imaging, the following lesions were detected: anterior talofibular ligament tear in 23 patients, calcaneofibular ligament lesion in 15, posterior talofibular ligament lesion in 11, interosseous talocalcaneal ligament lesion in 13, cervical ligament lesion in 12, and deltoid ligament lesion in 8. Compared with the clinical outcome at the follow-up study, there was a statistically significant relationship between interosseous talocalcaneal ligament lesion and each of giving way, pain, and limitation of ankle motion; between cervical ligament lesion and both giving way and pain; and between deltoid ligament lesion and giving way (P < 0.05).
