Sažetak
The aim of the study was to evaluate the status of all soft tissue and osseous structures by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with acute ankle injury. During a two-year period (2001-2003), 50 patients with acute ankle injury (osseous injury excluded by conventional radiography) underwent MRI evaluation within 7 days of injury infliction. The following injuries were confirmed: joint effusion, joint capsule extension, lateral collateral ligament injury, fibular malleolus infraction, flexor hallucis longus tendon injury, brevis and longus peroneus tendon injury, infraction of talus and injury of tibiofibular syndesmosis. Study results pointed to a great variety of capsule-ligament andosseous structure injuries as well as to the existence of injuries undetectable by clinical examinationi and conventional radiography, where MRI proved highly useful in identifying selected patients sustaining ankle injury.
