Abstract: The intermalleolar ligament seemed to be an almost invariably present anatomic entity with diverse morphologic features on MR images.

“…Golanó et al [ 38 ] identifi ed this ligament in all his dissections as well as in the arthroscopic study performed. In our opinion, the difference in frequency is probably due to the small size of the posterior intermalleolar ligament (mean 2.3 mm, range 1-5 mm), interracial variations [ 68 ], and the fact that it is diffi cult to dissect [ 38 ]. In addition, the ligament may be divided (20 % [ 66 ]-100 % [ 68 ]) into 2 or 3 different bands, any of which may not achieve bony insertion and become inserted in the joint capsule of the ankle.…”

“…The author ascribed the difference to the possibility that among these patients the ligament would be more obvious on MRI because of scar thickening and infl ammation resulting from repeated trauma. In the recent study of Oh et al [ 68 ] on the morphology of the posterior intermalleolar ligament and its correlation with MR images, the posterior intermalleolar ligament was observed in 81.8 % of the specimens.…”
