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

| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | magnetic resonance imaging. | 1.5 Tesla magnet system is going to be utilized for ankle imaging. A dedicated extremity surface coil (Foot/Ankle 16-Channel Coil; Siemens Medical Solution) is used to enhance spatial resolution. |
