Fifty-three ankles of 29 normal volunteers were examined with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to improve the anatomical MR knowledge of tibiotalar and subtalar joints. The aim of our study was therefore to assess the visibility of articular cartilages, tendons and ligaments of the ankle and to define the best scan plane for their visualization. MR studies were performed with SE T1-weighted sequences on the sagittal, coronal and axial planes. The visibility of articular cartilages was 70.8% for the tibiotalar joint and 56.3% for the subtalar joint. All ankle tendons and four of the eight ankle ligaments considered in our study were assessed, at least on one of the sagittal, coronal or axial planes, with over 70% visibility. The deltoid ligament was detected in 95% of the cases on coronal images, the anterior and the posterior talofibular ligaments were seen respectively in 82% and in 75% of the cases on axial images, while the interosseous ligament was detected in 87.5% of the cases on sagittal images. Our study assessed both the capabilities and the limitations of MRI in the detection of anatomical structures of the tibiotalar and subtalar joints and defined the best scan plane for their visualization.
