Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Lateral Ankle Instability

NCT03695965 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Lateral ankle instability may be acute or chronic. Acute instability usually occurs due to extreme rear foot supination with planter-flexion trauma leads to injury of lateral collateral ligament complex especially the anterior talofibular ligament. Most ankle ligamentous injuries are treated conservatively. However, 20% to 40% of patients complain of chronic instability and persistent discomfort. Structural instability, loss of proprioceptive capabilities, and the weakness of peroneal muscles seem to induce chronic instability

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

magnetic resonance imaging.

1.5 Tesla magnet system is going to be utilized for ankle imaging. A dedicated extremity surface coil (Foot/Ankle 16-Channel Coil; Siemens Medical Solution) is used to enhance spatial resolution.
