Syndesmotic injuries, also referred as high ankle sprains, may cause significant ankle instability and chronic pain. Ultrasound (US) is a well-proven imaging modality to evaluate the ligaments of the ankle, due to its high spatial resolution and the possibility to perform dynamic examinations. However, considering the syndesmosis complex, the sonographic appearance of the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) is not well described in the pertinent literature and, to the best of our knowledge, we found no report of PITFL avulsion demonstrated at US, as in the case presented.
下胫腓联合损伤，也称为高位踝关节扭伤，可能导致明显的踝关节不稳定和慢性疼痛。超声（US）是一种经过充分验证的评估踝关节韧带的成像方式，因为它具有较高的空间分辨率和进行动态检查的可能性。然而，就下胫腓联合复合体而言，后下胫腓韧带（PITFL）的超声表现并未在相关文献中得到很好的描述，据我们所知，我们没有发现像本文所展示的那样，在 US 下显示 PITFL 撕脱的报道。
