- The Calcaneofibular ligament is a small lateral ankle ligament that is often torn.
- Its normal MRI appearance is a thin low signal structure (Pink arrows) that extends from the calcaneum to the fibula and passes deep to the peroneal tendons (Green arrows).
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.
- Thickened, hyper-intense and ill defined calcaneofibular ligament (Pink arrows).
- This can involve the entire ligament or a portion of it.
- The anatomical landmark to find the CFL are the Peroneal tendons (Blue arrows) with the CFL lying deep to it between the peroneal tendons and calcaneum.
