Imaging of Acute Capsuloligamentous Sports Injuries in the Ankle and Foot: Sports Imaging Series.

The ankle and foot are commonly injured during sporting activities. Clinical diagnosis can at times be challenging, due to the complex anatomy and multiple sites of potential injury. In the athlete, there is a reduced threshold for imaging to clarify diagnosis, guide prognosis, and treatment. Diagnostic imaging is also helpful in evaluating ongoing symptoms in the subacute or chronic setting. © RSNA, 2017.
