Sports Medicine Cases RC (A CURIOUS CASE OF ANKLE PAIN)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Sagar Wagle, a musculoskeletal radiology fellow at Stanford, discusses a case of a 17-year-old female with ankle pain post-volleyball injury. CT and radiograph images reveal a fracture in the lateral talar dome with multiple fragments, which are subtle and better seen in retrospect. MRI images show the fracture, substantial bone marrow edema, and low signal intensity on T1-weighted MRI. He highlights the importance of using ankle mortise view x-rays, as it provides a clearer view of the lateral talar dome, which is often obscured in standard anterior-posterior views, helping to prevent missed diagnoses.
