Diagnosis of Lateral Ankle Ligament Injury in the Evaluation of Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability
Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) is a major complication of acute ankle sprain that can cause discomfort in both daily and sports activities and may lead to degenerative changes in the ankle joint as the long-term sequelae. The precise cause of CLAI remains debatable and is most probably...

| Summary: | Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) is a major complication of acute ankle sprain that can
cause discomfort in both daily and sports activities and may lead to degenerative changes in
the ankle joint as the long-term sequelae. The precise cause of CLAI remains debatable and is
most probably multifactorial. However, identifying chronic lateral ankle ligament injury is critical
in determining the primary etiology and formulating an appropriate treatment plan. This
review discusses the features and effectiveness of various imaging techniques in diagnosing
chronic lateral ankle ligament injury. |
