The aim of this study was to specifically analyse the reliability of MRI reported lateral ligament findings in relation to examination under anaesthesia and stress X-rays in patients with symptomatic ankle instability.Methods:A single centre, single surgeon consecutive series of patients who had undergone examination under anaesthesia and stress X-rays preceded by an MRI scan for symptomatic ankle pathology were included in this retrospective clinical study. All MRI scans were reported by a musculoskeletal radiologist. MRI reports and procedure findings were extracted and analysed.Results:Between April 2012 and December 2016, 49 patients who fulfilled the above criteria were included.
