“…There are many reports on the value of MR imaging in the early detection and assessment of abnormalities seen in the distal tibiofibular joint. 6,8,12,14 Vogl et al 14 examined 38 patients with an acute ankle trauma and clinical suspicion of a syndesmotic tear. They used conventional film radiographs and MR images and suggested that MR imaging of the syndesmotic complex is a highly sensitive and specific tool for the evaluation of syndesmotic injuries.…”

Knowledge of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis should be helpful in determining the normal position of the fibula in the incisural notch. The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomic characteristics of the fibular incisura of the tibia on MR imaging. One hundred fifty lower limbs (43 male, 32 female volunteers) were examined with MRI. The length of the anterior facet was 10.4 mm in males and 8.9 mm in females, and the length of the posterior facet was 10.4 mm in males and 8.9 mm in females. The angle between anterior and posterior facets was 138.6 degrees in males and 139.9 degrees in females. The depth of the fibular incisura of the tibia was 3.6 mm in males and 2.9 mm in females. The vertical distance of tibiofibular overlapping was 7.9 mm in males and 7.0 mm in females. The distance between anterior margin of the tibia and anterior margin of the fibula was 14.3 mm in males and 12.5 mm in females. All of these parameters of men (except the angle between anterior and posterior facets) were significantly higher than the parameters of women (p<.001, p<.001, p<.05, p<.05, p<.01, respectively).

“…MRI can detect subtle injuries of cartilage and osteochondral bone. [3][4][5][6] Damage to cartilage may lead to a lesion of subchondral bone seen as a bone bruise on MRI. 7 The articular cartilage may appear to be intact 8 and such lesions may represent elastic deformation of the cartilage with haemorrhage and disruption of the trabecular bone.…”

We used MRI to study a prospective series of 95 patients with inversion injuries of the ankle and no fracture on plain radiographs. We found an incidence of bone bruises of 27%, but these made no difference to the time of return to work, limitation of walking or physical activity, or the clinical outcome scores at three months. We conclude that bone bruises have very little clinical significance after inversion injuries of the ankle.
