Fig. 3B. Bone bruise in 16-year-old boy with acute syndesmosis injury.
Arrowheads indicate medial talus, and arrows indicate edematous lateral
ligaments. Coronal fat-suppressed T2-weighted fast spin-echo image (3,167/76)
shows that bone bruise is consistent with inversion mechanism of injury.
Edematous lateral ligaments indicate acute injury. Bone bruises were found to
have significant association with acute syndesmosis injuries.
