Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Lateral Ankle Instability
- Conditions
- Ankle Injuries
- Interventions
- Procedure: magnetic resonance imaging.
- Registration Number
- NCT03695965
- Lead Sponsor
- Assiut University
- Brief 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
