Bone marrow edema of the medioplantar talar head is associated with severe ligamentous injury in ankle sprain.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the predictive value of talar head edema (THE) in acute ankle sprain for the presence of concomitant ligament injuries.

Methods

This retrospective study was approved by the ethics committee and informed consent was obtained. One hundred patients (mean age: 37 years ± 14 [standard deviation], range 13-77 years) with MRI of the ankle after acute trauma were included. The cohort in this matched-pair study consisted of 50 patients with THE (group 1) and 50 patients without THE (group 2). Two readers independently evaluated presence and size of bone marrow edema of the talus head and injuries of the lateral, medial, talonavicular, and spring ligament complex. Statistics included intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Kappa statistics as well as parame
