AbstractConventional radiographs in conjunction with clinical examination remains the primary method for evaluating the acute athletic injury. In most cases, suspected acute tendon and ligament injuries are initially treated based on physical examination. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, with its multiplanar capability and superb soft tissue contrast, is quickly becoming the method of choice for evaluating chronic foot and ankle pain and further defining the extent of tendon and ligament injuries. This article reviews the common acute and chronic (overuse) foot and ankle athletic injuries with an emphasis on imaging characteristics.
