Findings
Axial T1 image(1) demonstrates T1 hyperintensity and fraying along the expected location of the anterior talofibular ligament. Axial PDFS sequence(2) confirms the findings with non-visualization of the anterior talofibular ligament with associated soft tissue edema as also noted in the sagittal PDFS(3). The medial ankle ligament complex is intact(4).
Diagnosis
Isolated complete tear of anterior talofibular ligament
Summary
