Evaluation of the Healing Status of Lateral Ankle Ligaments 6 Weeks After an Acute Ankle Sprain.
J Foot Ankle Surg
October 2024
Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto Medical School, Department of Medical Imaging, Hematology and Clinical Oncology, Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the healing of lateral ligaments in 18 participants 6 weeks following an acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS), assessing clinical and MRI evidence of recovery.
- Out of the participants, 89% showed MRI signs of healing in the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), with its thickness significantly greater than a control group.
- Despite encouraging healing results, 61% of participants experienced mild residual instability, indicating ongoing functional challenges even after the ligaments showed signs of repair.
Post-processing of quantitative 4D-CT for initial evaluation of scapholunate Instability: Assessment of simplified approaches to data analysis.

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of simplified post-processing approaches for quantitative wrist 4D-CT in the assessment of scapholunate instability (SLI).
Methods: A prospective monocentric case-control study included 60 patients with suspected post-traumatic scapholunate ligament (SLL) tears and persistent pain. Of these, 40 patients exhibited SLL tears, subdivided into two groups of 20 each: one group with completely torn ligaments and the other with partially torn ligaments.
Predictive Refined Computational Modeling of ACL Tear Injury Patterns.

Department of Orthopedics, HaSharon Hospital, Rabin Medical Center, Petach Tikva 49372, Israel.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are prevalent knee injuries, with approximately 200,000 ruptures annually, and treatment costs exceed USD two billion in the United States alone. Typically, the initial detection of ACL tears and anterior tibial laxity (ATL) involves manual assessments like the Lachman test, which examines anterior knee laxity. Partial ACL tears can go unnoticed if they minimally affect knee laxity; however, they will progress to a complete ACL tear requiring surgical treatment.

Universitäts Centrum Für Orthopädie Und Unfallchirurgie, Universitätsklinikum Carl Gustav Carus, Dresden, Dresden, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how ankle injuries affect the ligaments and bones using special imaging tests called CT and MRI.
- 33 patients with ankle sprains were examined, and the researchers looked at different types of ligament injuries and measured the width between certain bones in the ankle.
- The results showed that specific tests can effectively identify problems in the ankle's stability, especially for certain types of fractures.
Acute blockage of forearm supination due to flap tear of the triangular fibrocartilage disc: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
April 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Research Institute of Clinical Medicine of Jeonbuk National University - Biomedical Research Institute of Jeonbuk National University Hospital, Jeonju, Jeonbuk, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a case of acute blockage of forearm supination in a 22-year-old male, likely due to a triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tear caused by a minor wrist injury during exercise two months prior.
- MRI results confirmed the TFCC tear, which caused limitations in wrist movement and pain during supination, leading to the decision for arthroscopic surgery to remove the torn tissue blocking movement.
- Post-surgery, the patient regained full forearm supination and experienced no pain, highlighting the effectiveness of addressing the TFCC tear for restoring wrist function.
