Ligaments of Ankle Joint Flashcards
1
Q
Attaches to the margins of the malleolar fork and talar dome
synovial membrane lines the capsule and ascends into the tibiofibular recess
A
Talocrural capsular ligament
2
Q
- Capsular
- Attaches to the anterior border of the lateral malleolus and the lateral surface of the body of the talus
- Shortest and weakest of the lateral ankle ligaments
A
Anterior talofibular ligament
3
Q
- Cord like extracapsular
- attaches to the anterior border and apex of the lateral malleolus and to the fibular spine on the lateral surface of the calcaneus
-crossed superficially by the tendons of fib. longus and fib. brevis
A
Calcaneofibular ligament
4
Q
- Capsular
- attaches to the inferior portion of the malleolar fossa and to the lateral tubercle on the posterior surface of the body of the talus
- strongest and deeply situated of the lateral ankle ligaments.
A
Posterior talofibular ligament
5
Q

- Attaches to the anterior colliculus and the dorsomedial aspect of the navicular
- weakest
- blends with the spring ligament
A
