Hi, I am a soocer player. I injured my left ankle during a game about 6 months ago, since then the pain doesn t want to go away and even though i am able to jog with little pain i still don't feel confortable enough to go back to soccer.
I had 2 CT scans done on my ankle and here what they say:
Exam date 11/10/2003
FINDINGS: There is a joint effusion present. An avulsion fracture of the posteromedial aspect of the dome of the talus is noted. There is a well corticated calcification extending along the antiror aspect of the distal fibula which likely represents an old avulsion fracture. Similar finding is seen at the level of the dorsal aspect of the avicula. No other acute fractures or dislocations are identified. Visualized joint spaces are otherwise unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: 1. Small posteromedial avulsion fracture off the dome of the talus with joint effusion as above. 2. Likely old avulsion fracture distal fibula and navicula.
Exam Date 04/21/04
FINDINGS: Comparison is made to the prior study dated 11/10/03. There is a minimal joint effusion present. the previously noted osteochondral injury involving the postromedial aspect of the talar dome which is essentially stable since the prior examination. There is a stable curvilinear segment of cortex which appears stable since the the prior exam. The old avulsion fracture in the anterior aspect of the fibula/malleolus is stable as well. There is a stable prominent osteophyte arising from the dorsum of the foot at the level of the talonavicular joint along the dorsum of the foot with central linear lucency. An old fracture of this osteophyte is possible.
IMPRESSION: Stable examination. Osteochondral injury involvong the dome of the talus with trace joint effusion. No interval change. Old injuries involving the fibula and navicula are also stable.
As you would expect this is like chinese to me. if you could help me understand it and give me your impressions and predictions on me coming back to soccer, i'll be forever gratefull. Thanks in advance. sincerly, Zak.
