Hello doctor, I am looking for a second opinion for surgical options for a grade 3 sprained ankle. I have attached herewith the MRI results. The results show a ruptured anterior tibiofibular ligament and a partial tear of the posterior tibiofibular ligament with disruption of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis with mild adjacent muscles edema, likely distal tibiofibular syndesmotic injury. They also show posterior talofibular, calcaneofibular and deltoid ligaments sprain. Mild marrow edema at the distal fibula. Tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus tenosynovitis. A small amount of fluid in the tibiotalar joint. Subcutaneous edema around the ankle. Kindly provide your opinion.
