Anterior and posterior tibiofibular, talofibular, calcaneofibular and deltiod ligaments are intact. Anterior extensor, long medial flexor and peroneal tendon are intact. There is thickening and abnormal signalof the Achilles tendon with surrounding soft tissue swelling. There is a small joint effusion. Articular cartilage is relatively preserved. There is mild periarticular soft tissue edema.
Impression: ABNORMAL MARROW SIGNAL IN THE TARSAL AND METATARSAL BONES AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, WHICH MAY REPRESENT REACTIVE MARROW EDEMA OR MICROTRABECULAR INJURY. RECOMMEND CLINICAL CORRELATION.

Welcome to health care magic.
1.This report suggest an MRI after a trauma / injury to the foot.
2.There is abnormal signs in the tarsal and metatarsal bones - probably due to the trauma causing oedema in the bone.
3.Abnormal signal intensity indicates tendon injury / tear or inflammatory changes.
4.There is evidence of fluid in the joint space - its reactionary changes after infection / inflammation.
5.There is also soft tissue oedema seen in the adjacent muscle.
6.report suggest trauma / inflammatory changes - might need immobility for some time with antibiotic treatment. Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query.
Any thing to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
