Left Ankle Joint

2024-07-06 06:43:36
Hello Doctors, Could someone suggest me how serious my injury is. Currently I have been put on plaster but still the pain is not reducing. My ankle MRI report reads: Transversely oriented T1 hypointense fracture is noted traversing base of lateral malleolus. Tear of superiormost fibres of anterior talofibular ligament is noted. Intact inferior fascicle of the ATFL is seen to take attachment to anterior colliculus of the avulsed lateral malleolus. Fibular end of calcaenofibular ligament shows intermediate signal intensity, suggesting possiblility of low grade intrasubstance tear at fibular end of CFL. Bones & Joints: Tibiotalar joint is normal with no evidence of subchondral hyperintensity and effusion. Subtalar joint with anterior, middle and posterior subtalar facets are normal. Calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joints are normal. lateral malleolus, talar dome, calcaneum and talus are normal.

Continue plaster for a month. After removal of plaster you’ll have stiffness so physio and gradually progressive weight bearing.
