A patient arrives in your
clinic 72 hours status post inversion sprain of the right ankle. The
conscientious emergency room physician ordered a MRI to rule out possible
rupture of the collateral ligaments. The patient arrives with the MRI jacket,
but there is no report contained within. A trickle of sweat appears on your
brow. Will you be able to distinguish between a well-defined anterior
talofibular ligament and an amorphous ligament with increased signal intensity
on a T1 weighted image?
Relax!!! Dr. Steven Needel,
Director of Musculoskeletal Imaging at Boca Raton Community Hospital, is here to
help. He will clarify the difference between T1, T2, and Stir images; enlighten
us on the distinction between tendonitis, tendonosis, dysfunction and tears. He
will explain why fluid distending the peroneal sheath is an important secondary
indicator of calcaneofibular ligament injuries. With Dr. Needel’s help, you will
be able to confirm or possibly rule out sinus tarsi or os trigonum syndrome.
This is a beautiful lecture
filled with crystal clear MRI images, all evaluated and explained in detail by
an excellent, enthusiastic practicing radiologist and teacher.
