Spring ligament of the ankle: normal MR anatomy.

摘要: The plantar calcaneonavicular or spring ligament is visualized inconsistently and incompletely on routine MR images of the foot. This a vital stabilizer longitudinal arch foot, providing support for head talus, which rests ligament's central portion. Laxity rupture permits flexion talus. motion results in valgus alignment calcaneus flatfoot deformity (pes planovalgus). can develop cases chronic dysfunction posterior tibial tendon. In tendon, surgical management may include plication addition to repair reconstruction tendon stabilize medial column Thus, status be significant consideration preoperative planning. pictorial essay illustrates normal anatomy ligament, planes imaging required optimal depiction neighboring structures with confused.
