Table 2. Complexity of Deltoid Ligament and Syndesmosis Injuries in Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability: MRI vs. Arthroscopy.

Injured Ligament MRI (Number of Ankles) Arthroscopy (Number of Ankles) Sensitivity of MRI (%) Specificity of MRI (%)
Deltoid ligament Superficial 9 11 84 (16 of 19 ankles) 93.5 (29 of 31 ankles)
Deep 2 2
Superficial and deep 7 6
Syndesmosis AITFL 19 21 91 (21 of 23 ankles) 100 (27 of 27 ankles)
AITFL and IOL 2 2

AITFL = anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament, IOL = distal interosseous ligament
