ANKLE SUBSCRIPTION POST 05: INTERMALLEOLAR LIGAMENT
The posterior intermalleolar ligament is a posterior ankle ligament. INTERMALLEOLAR LIGAMENT INTERMALLEOLAR LIGAMENT WHERE IS IT The posterior inter-malleolar ligament lies (Pink) between the transverse ligament (Orange) and the PTFL (Yellow). It extends between the medial and lateral malleolus and runs obliquely. On dissection its present in most ankles but on MRI is variable as

KNEE SUBSCRIPTION POST 09: MCL BURSA
There are multiple bursa around the knee. The MCL bursa is a less commonly known bursa and can be confused with a MCL tear. MCL BURSA MCL BURSA WHERE IS IT The MCL bursa (White region) can develop in a thin space between the deep (Pink and Blue lines) and superficial MCL (Orange line).

ANKLE SUBSCRIPTION POST 04: SMALL AVULSION FRCATURES
Small avulsion fractures can be difficult to visualise on MRI as the avulsed fragment is poorly seen. Here we look at a method to identify small avulsion fractures on MRI. HOW TO IDENTIFY SMALL AVULSION FRACTURES SMALL AVULSION FRACTURES WHAT TO ASSESS The avulsed fragment is often difficult to see as it can be quite

SHOULDER SUBSCRIPTION POST 12: ROTATOR CABLE
The rotator cable is an anatomical structure which is not pathological, but can be seen and can cause confusion. ROTATOR CABLE ANATOMY RC ANATOMY WHAT/ WHERE IS IT The rotator cable is an area of Fibrous thickening approx 1cm wide that lies deep to the SST and IST. Runs perpendicular to the RC tendons (Pink

BONUS LESSON 02: PLICA ABNORMAL APPEARANCE
Today we look at the MRI appearance of abnormal plica. There are two pathologies seen: Trauma and tearing. Plica Syndrome. PATHOLOGIES SEEN OF THE PLICA PATHOLOGIES TRAUMA This affects the Supra Patella Plica predominantly. Main imaging findings are increased signal and ill definition/ thickening of the Plica (Normal Plica is black and well defined). PLICA

BONUS LESSON 01: PLICA NORMAL APPEARANCE
Plica in the knee are common to see and are usually asymptomatic. However, they can complicate and become symptomatic. Here we start with the normal appearance of plica and the next post will be on abnormal plica. NORMAL PLICA SUPRA PATELLA PLICA WHAT ARE THEY SUPRA PATELLA PLICA SUPRA PATELLA PLICA: VIEW VIDEO INFRA

SHOULDER SUBSCRIPTION POST 11: TYPES OF ACROMION
There are a number of shapes of the acromion. Here we look at the different types and their appearance. TYPES OF ACROMION ACROMION TYPES OF ACROMION The type is based on the appearance of the under-surface of the acromion. This can be: Type I: Flat under-surface. Type II: Concave under-surface (most common type). Type

ANKLE SUBSCRIPTION POST 03: PLANTAR FIBROMATOSIS
We looked at Plantar Fasciitis in the course but there are other pathologies that can affect the Plantar Fascia. PLANTAR FIBROMATOSIS PLANTAR FIBROMATOSIS WHAT IS IT Plantar Fibromatosis is a localised, proliferative fibrosis of the Plantar Fascia. WHERE DOES IT OCCUR It commences and is centered on the Plantar Fascia. But can

DAY 01 INTRODUCTION AND NORMAL SPINE ANATOMY
Welcome to the MRI SPINE Degenerative Disease of the Spine Mini Fellowship. We will go through a lot of things but the most important of all is the anatomy. The Spine is full of important structures and often the biggest challenge is being able to confidently assess what structure you are looking at or where to

ANKLE SUBSCRIPTION POST 02: FLEXOR RETINACULUM TEARS
There a number of Retinaculae around the ankle. One that can be commonly injured with medial ankle ligament injury is the Flexor retinaculum. FLEXOR RETINACULUM TEARS WHAT’S THE ANATOMY APPEARANCE WHAT DOES A TEAR LOOK LIKE Look for: Hyperintensity and ill definition (Pink circle) of the retinaculum.
