Context 1
... to persisting pain at the ankle after conservative treatment, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the ankle was performed. MRI showed a grade 3 sprain of the anterior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) and bone marrow edema of the posterior malleolus at the attachment of the posterior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) along with a posterior tibial lip fracture (PTLF) (Figure 2). Subsequent CT-examination confirmed the diagnosis of a PTLF with curvilinear morphology (Figure 3). ...
