Hello,

The MRI of ankle joint shows age related changes in the form of osteoarthritis and erosion of articular surfaces. In addition, there are tears in surrounding ligaments of ankle joint. The ligament repair can take place to an extent with immobilization. However, the age related changes cannot be reversed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
