[Abstract] Ankle trauma often causes early injury of articular cartilage. If the articular cartilage injury is not diagnosed early, it may lead to further deterioration of the condition and induce a decrease or impairment of the patient's mobility. At present, it is easy to miss the diagnosis of cartilage injury by conventional MRI scanning, and it is difficult to quantitatively evaluate the degree of cartilage injury. However, functional MRI (fMRI) can reflect the pathophysiological abnormalities of articular cartilage, and it has a high application prospect in early diagnosis and severity grading of ankle cartilage injury. To address this issue, this paper reviews the latest advances in the clinical application of fMRI techniques of ankle cartilage, in order to broaden the application scope of fMRI in early diagnosis and curative effect prediction of ankle cartilage.
