title: MR imaging of the postoperative ankle.
abstract: Although MRI of the ankle has become a routine diagnostic method to cope with pathologic conditions of the ankle, the literature on postoperative evaluation of the ankle by imaging is very scarce. In this short course, the basic principles on surgical reconstruction techniques of ankle ligaments and tendons will be reviewed. The value of imaging--with emphasis on MRI--in depicting postoperative complications will be discussed as well.
