Can ankle mri show damage from sprain injury couple years prior?if so, what issues would still be visible to ortho that could be cause pain/instability

Yes: Every day in the United States, roughly 10, 000 people suffer ankle injury, with most of these being sprains. Mri can depict ligament injuries and has been used to differentiate ligament tears from other causes of ankle pain, such as fracture, osteochondral and cartilage injury, or tendon injury. Appropriate treatment planning for ankle injury achieved.

Muscle tear: Most likely not, torn muscle should be healed already, if it torn achill tendon, that i'd not healed properly in could b seen.

Yes.: Any incompletely healed ligament could be seen. They most definitely could produce joint instability.
