Ankle sprain is one of the most commonly treated injuries of the lower extremity. The treatment depends on the severity of the injury and the time at which it occurred. The physician must rely on the history as related by the patient to determine the age of the injury. Magnetic resonance imaging has been proven to help determine the severity of the injury but has not been used to determine the age of the injury. The present study was conducted to identify the typical findings of acute and chronic ankle sprains as a means of dating an ankle sprain based on its appearance on magnetic resonance imaging.
踝关节扭伤是下肢最常见的需治疗的损伤之一。治疗方法取决于损伤的严重程度及其发生时间。医生必须依靠患者讲述的病史来确定损伤的时间。磁共振成像已被证明有助于确定损伤的严重程度，但尚未用于确定损伤的时间。本研究旨在确定急性和慢性踝关节扭伤的典型表现，作为根据磁共振成像外观确定踝关节扭伤时间的一种方法。
