High-grade morphological changes in the TL can be detected in patients with WAD through the use of 3D SPACE sequences. Clinical relevance statement 3D SPACE MRI could serve as an instrumental tool in the assessment of TL among patients with WAD. Integrating MRI findings with patient history and symptomology could facilitate the identification of potential ligament damage, and may help treatment and follow-up planning.
