ABSTRACT

Ankle impingement syndromes are painful conditions that may complicate ankle trauma and are characterized by chronic, progressive pain, swelling, and limitation of movement. These disorders are subclassified according to anatomical location about the tibiotalar joint. This article reviews the various forms of anterior ankle impingement, detailing the unique clinical features, anatomical considerations, pathoetiology, and imaging findings for each.

KEYWORDS

Anterior ankle impingement - anterolateral ankle impingement - anteromedial ankle impingement - MR arthrography - MRI
