title: Magnetic resonance imaging of pediatric disorders of the ankle and foot.
abstract: This article discusses the unique contribution of MR imaging to the evaluation of selected pediatric disorders of the ankle and foot. MR imaging is helping to unravel the complex congenital malformation of talipes equinovarus. It is the study of choice for the examination of intraarticular abnormalities such as Trevor's disease. The MR imaging staging of osteochondritis dissecans and delineation of a tarsal coalition have shown great promise in guiding surgical management of these abnormalities.
