Ankle: Anatomy 4 Flashcards
What are the primary lateral ligaments of the ankle?
- ATFL
- CFL
- PTFL
Lateral collateral ligaments: ATFL prevents what motions
anterior displacement of the talus relative to the mortise
Lateral collateral ligaments: CFL is taut with these motions
inversion and adduction of the calcaneus relative to the fibula
Lateral collateral ligaments: PTFL is taut in what position
ER of the talus relative to the ankle mortise
Ligaments disrupted during ankle sprains:
% with complete rupture of ATFL
65%
Ligaments disrupted during ankle sprains:
% with combined injury to ATFL/CFL
20%
Ligaments disrupted during ankle sprains:
% with anterior inferior tibiofibular ligaments
10%
Ligaments disrupted during ankle sprains:
% with deltoid ligament
3%
Isolated injuries to the PTFL are (common/rare)
rare
Isolated injuries to the CFL are (common/rare)
NONEXISTENT
What is the function of the deltoid ligament?
controls medial joint stability and end ranges of DF and PF
Deltoid ligaments composed of these:
- tibionavicular
- posterior talotibial
- calcaneotibial
- anterior talotibial
Ligaments of the midfoot/forefoot:
These ligaments tie the calcaneocuboid joint together
Plantar ligament (long and short)
Ligaments of the midfoot/forefoot:
Spring ligament AKA
Calcaneonavicular ligament
Ligaments of the midfoot/forefoot:
The spring ligament is found on what surface of the foot?
Plantar
