Key Points

The study investigates how the timing of MRI affects the diagnostic findings in acute lateral ankle sprains.
Retrospective observational cohort study involving 75 patients with acute inversion-type ankle sprain.
Patients categorized into hyperacute (0-7 days), subacute (8-21 days), and late (>21 days) MRI timing groups.
MRI performed with a 3.0T scanner and evaluated by a blinded radiologist for various parameters.
ATFL tear classification varied significantly between the MRI timing groups (p < 0.05).
Radiological findings showed differences in ligament integrity and edema across the groups.
Diagnostic interpretability scores differed, impacting clinical decision-making.
