Article Synopsis
- The study reviews the effectiveness of MRI in diagnosing acute injuries to the anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL), as most previous research focused on chronic injuries and symptoms.
- Seven relevant studies were analyzed, revealing that MRI has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing acute ATFL injuries, with pooled sensitivity at 1.0 and specificity at 0.9.
- The findings suggest that while MRI is accurate and could be beneficial for diagnosing acute cases, its high cost often prevents its use in clinical settings.
