Numerous pathologic processes of the ankle can be diagnosed with use of
magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging allows for
high-resolution evaluation of not only the osseous structures of the ankle
joint but also the soft-tissue structures including muscles, ligaments, and
tendons. There are multiple imaging techniques and pulse sequences with which
to evaluate the ankle joint. The purposes of this report are to (1) update
orthopaedic surgeons on current magnetic resonance imaging techniques and
indications for magnetic resonance imaging of the ankle, and (2) elucidate the
typical appearance of the normal ankle joint and its common disease entities
on magnetic resonance
imaging.
