Arthrographic differential diagnosis between ruptures of the anterior talofibular ligament, the joint capsule and the anterior tibiofibular ligament.

摘要: From literature study, surgical findings and cadaver experiments, it is unlikely that, in an inversion type ankle sprain, rupture of the anterior tibiofibular ligament frequently accompanies capsule lateral ligaments. Contrary to experience other authors, we found presence or absence a) a contrast-free zone, b) recess, c) both together, on arthrography no way indicative ligament. Contrast leakage out joint into soft tissues without below malleolus indicates capsule. Leakage talofibular The anatomic relationships between syndesmosis, capsule, recess were studied cadavers during surgery. spread probably determined by arrangement damage size haematoma follows path least resistance.
