Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was carried out to assess ligament damage.
MRI is excellent for demonstrating the medial and lateral ligament complexes of the ankle as well as the soft tissues that support the bones of the posterior foot.
Unfortunately for this patient there was a tear of the anterior talofibular ligament (eFig. 6.145), which had to be repaired surgically.
