What holds the tibia and fibula together
Interosseous membrane
What does the Interosseous membrane provide
Provides attachments for muscles
What does the Interosseous membrane separate

Name the joint that articulates from the proximal head of the fibula to the inferolateral surface of lateral tibial condyles
Superior tibiofibular joint
Classify the superior tibiofibular joint
Synovial plane joint
What is the movement of the superior tibiofibular joint
Small rotation during ankle dorsiflextion and plantarflextion and gliding
Name the joint that articulates from the fibular notch on the lateral aspect of the DISTAL tibia and medial fibular
Inferior tibiofibular joint
Name the ankle joint
Talocural
Classify the ankle joint
Synovial hinge joint
What is the ankle joint covered in?
Hyaline cartilage
Articular surfaces of the ankle joint
Distal end of tibia and fibula to the talus
Joint capsule of the ankle joint
Enclosed by a synovial membrane which is covered in a fibrous membrane
What ligaments support the ankle joint?
Medial deltoid and lateral ligaments
What movement occurs at the ankle joint?
Dorsey flexion and plantar flexion on a sagittal plane frontal axis
What range of movement does the ankle joint have in degrees?
Dorsey flexion with knee extended = 20 to 30°
