Background: Ankle injuries occur frequently and represent around 10% of all emergency department admissions. The preferred diagnostic modality for evaluating ankle is Magnetic resonance imaging, because its better soft tissue contrast; noninvasive as well scanning capability in several planes. Aims: This study aimed to highlight the importance MRI assessment patients with pain a result traumati...

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing lateral ankle ligament injuries and the effect of differences in time duration from injury to MRI. Methods Data were collected prospectively from 82 patients who underwent MRI and lateral ligament reconstruction, and were divided into either acute (≤3 months) or chronic (>3 months) group base...

the aim of this study is to compare three modes of femoral fixation, namely aperfix, rigidfix and endobutton, in anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction. 120 patients were randomly assigned to three groups, each consisting of 40 patients, and each group was treated by one of the above mentioned methods of femoral fixation. all patients were examined prior to and 24 months after surgery,...

This study presents the ankle ligament strains and ankle joint moments during an accidental injury event diagnosed as a grade I anterior talofibular ligament (ATaFL) sprain. A male athlete accidentally sprained his ankle while performing a cutting motion in a laboratory setting. The kinematic data were input to a three-dimensional rigid-body foot model for simulation analyses. Maximum strains i...

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common injuries in athletes. The arthroscopic ACL reconstruction procedure gold standard for treatment. However, improvement injury classification and suture materials has subsequently made primary repair an alternative surgical treatment option. This Technical Note describes with synthetic augmentation several high-strength sutures fi...

BACKGROUND Generalized joint laxity has been linked to ligamentous injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament tear and ankle sprain. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to investigate generalized joint laxity and incidence of ligament injuries in high school-aged female volleyball players. It was hypothesized that volleyball players with a past history of sprains would have incr...

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether the number and thickness ligament bands lateral ankle ligaments are symmetrical between contralateral uninjured ankles same healthy person, using sonography. Materials Methods: investigated include anterior talofibular (ATFL), calcaneofibular (CFL), inferior tibiofibular (AITFL). influence age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, hours...
