Video Transcription

Video Summary

A 22-year-old lacrosse player suffered a high ankle sprain after a collision, diagnosed at Stanford University. Radiographs showed no fractures or abnormal widening of the lateral and tibiofibular clear spaces. MRIs revealed a high-grade tear of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament, crucial for ankle stability, indicating a high ankle injury. Normal and abnormal MRIs were compared, confirming the ligament tear. The injured ligaments include the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament, the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament, and the interosseous membrane, with this case focusing on the most commonly injured anterior ligament.
