【 摘 要 】

Category:Ankle, Arthroscopy, SportsIntroduction/Purpose:Chronic lateral ankle instability is a common problem in foot and ankle surgery, especially in patients with neutral or varus alignment of the hindfoot. Peroneal tendinopathy is a common associated condition with reported incidence as high as 77%. Not all surgical approaches allow for assessment of the peroneal tendons intraoperatively, and so physical exam and imaging, by either ultrasound or MRI, often plays an important role in pre-operative planning. We evaluated the usefulness of MRI reports in identifying peroneal tendon pathology in patients with lateral ankle instability. Specifically, we aimed to identify the most commonly missed lesions, as well as the sensitivity of an MRI report at detecting any peroneal pathology, as we reason this finding to have the great effect on preoperative planning.Methods:We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients who had undergone surgery for lateral ankle instability at our institution in the pas...
