Spring Ligament Complex MRI Anatomy

Learn how to identify the spring ligament on ankle MRI and how to memorize the complex names :). This video focuses on MR anatomy of the calcaneonavicular ligament, also known as spring ligament complex and explains all different components in detail and shows on diagrams and on multiple MR images of different patients how it looks like and how you can easily identify them.

The spring ligament complex consists of 3 components
- superomedial band
- medioplantar oblique band
- inferoplantar longitudinal band
And also, do not forget the gliding layer between the superomedial portion and the posterior tibial tendon, as well as the spring ligament recess.

Dr Christopher you truly have made a complex anatomical structure look simple ...your art of explanation is truly exceptional👌

[@ahmedamer5308]

one chest radiologist disliked this video lol. thanks Christoph! great video

[@DrChristophAgten]

😁, that chest radiologists seems to be active in many videos :D

Dr. Agten, If the posterior tibial nerve is severed (cut by a grinder), can it be spliced? Thank you for your answer

[@egripali]

Köszönjük!

[@shinem3381]

How does a Spring Ligament Tear affect my kinetic chain,,,ankles,,knees,,hips,,lower back,,back

[@mandyzanatta]

👌🏻👌🏻

[@dairoberts605]

Great video and diagrams. Do you comment on talar head uncovering in flat foot and if so how much emphasis do you but on it?

[@DrChristophAgten]

To be honest, from time to time I'll give that criteria a go. However, to me it looks most of the times slightly uncovered even in patients without problems in this regard. So I rather skip it. But maybe I should go deeper and make a video 😄 to see what the papers are saying. Thanks for asking

[@dairoberts605]

Dr Christoph Agten I have seen the same, so glad you thought similarly, seems to look partly uncovered in ‘normals’ !

[@DrChristophAgten]

@@dairoberts605 yes that is the issue. it will try to get the studies where they assessd this criteria. btw, i made a video about spring ligament MR Anatomy and Pathology for Radiopaedia's 2020 virtual conference. it is available now for pre-conference watching for registered attendees. check radiopaedia website. if you just want to watch the 30min spring ligament video, you can also watch it on my patreon page (www.patreon.com/agten), available for my higher tier patroens ($50+), but you could cancel after 1 month ;)

[@anandrahalkar]

Do you always have some hyperintense signal in the superomedial band on PD fat sat images.

[@DrChristophAgten]

in the distal aspects sometimes yes, but it should not be fluidlike

[@warpen2010]

Very good! even got photoshop skills!

[@DrChristophAgten]

Haha are you watching all my videos in one go? 😂😂

[@wiltonpt1]

you show the ligaments to be medial but in the MRI they are lateral? Please explain.

[@DrChristophAgten]

not sure what you mean. spring ligaments are medial to medioplantar

[@penelopeparker88]

It is a left foot not a right foot :) Cheers, From Physio Pen in New Zealand

[@gustavopoletto8740]

Great video! Aren’t you making videos anymore? I m a Patreon now

[@DrChristophAgten]

I am! Just a busy life, lots at work, creating the fellowship course etc :)

[@nedjlabou4730]

Thank you❤, do you provide fellow in french language?

[@DrChristophAgten]

No sorry, only English
