Answer 6

long plantar ligament
short plantar ligament
plantar aponeurosis

talus

Question 10

talocrural joint = ankle joint

what bones?

Answer 10

trochlea of talus
tibia
fibula

anterior talofibular of the lateral ligament

Question 32

what causes a potts fracture

Answer 32

forceful eversion of the foot

Question 33

what is damaged in a potts fracture

Answer 33

the medial and lateral malleoli and the fibula

NOT the deltoid ligament- that bad ass motherfucker never tears
