ABSTRACT

Introduction. The ankle is an articulation that plays an important role in bipededalism and distribution of body weight; alterations of its biomechanics cause pain and predispose to recurrent injury. It is important to know its anatomy and evaluate the structures involved in injuries to avoid diagnostic errors.
Objective. Describe the anatomy, anatomic variants, and most common injuries in ligaments and tendons of the ankle by means of magnetic resonance.
Material and methods. A bibliographic review was conducted and the most representative magnetic resonance studies of the ankle were chosen.
Discussion. The most common injuries of the ankle are traumatic, especially among athletes, and the most commonly injured elements are the ligaments, primarily peroneal group.
Conclusion. Magnetic resonance is the appropriate imaging method to analyze soft tissue injuries. Ligaments and tendons can be evaluated based on anatomy and radiological signs.
