The Calcaneofibular ligament is a small lateral ankle ligament that is often torn.
Here is what to look for when assessing for an acute tear of the Calcaneofibular ligament on MRI.
The normal MRI appearance of the Calcaneofibular ligament is a thin low signal structure that extends from the calcaneum to the fibula and passes deep to the peroneal tendons.
An acute high-grade tear of the Calcaneofibular ligament appears as thickening, hyper-intensity, and ill definition of the ligament.
The Peroneal tendons on an MRI can serve as an anatomical landmark to locate the Calcaneofibular ligamentFrom International Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
