posterior talofibular ligament; The posterior talofibular ligament runs horizontally between the neck of the talus and the medial side of lateral malleolus calcaneofibular ligament; The calcaneofibular ligament is attached on the posteromedial side of lateral malleolus and descends posteroinferiorly below to a lateral side of the calcaneus.
The calcaneofibular ligament is a narrow, rounded cord, running from the tip of the lateral malleolus of the fibula downward and slightly backward to a tubercle on the lateral surface of the calcaneus. It is part of the lateral collateral ligament, which opposes the hyperinversion of the subtalar joint, as in a common type of ankle sprain. [1]

All interphalangeal joints are ginglymoid (hinge) joints, and each has a plantar (underside) and two collateral ligaments. In the arrangement of these ligaments, extensor tendons supply the places of dorsal ligaments, which is similar to that in the metatarsophalangeal articulations.
The lateral malleolus is the prominence on the outer side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the fibula. The word malleolus (/ m ə ˈ l iː ə l ə s, m æ-/ [1] [2]), plural malleoli (/ m ə ˈ l iː ə ˌ l aɪ, m æ-/), comes from Latin and means "small hammer". (It is cognate with mallet.)
Collateral ligament can refer to: Lateral collateral ligament (disambiguation): Fibular collateral ligament; Lateral collateral ligament of ankle joint; Radial collateral ligament of elbow joint; Medial collateral ligament; Collateral ligaments of interphalangeal articulations of foot; Collateral ligaments of metatarsophalangeal articulations
The tarsus articulates with the bones of the metatarsus, which in turn articulate with the proximal phalanges of the toes. The joint between the tibia and fibula above and the tarsus below is referred to as the ankle joint proper. In humans the largest bone in the tarsus is the calcaneus, which is the weight-bearing bone within the heel of the ...
