  2. Syndesmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndesmosis

    In the leg, the syndesmosis between the tibia and fibula strongly unites the bones, allows for little movement, and firmly locks the talus bone in place between the tibia and fibula at the ankle joint. This provides strength and stability to the leg and ankle, which are important during weight bearing.

  3. High ankle sprain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_ankle_sprain

    The ankle joint consists of the talus resting within the mortise created by the tibia and fibula as previously described. Since the talus is wider anteriorly (in the front) than posteriorly (at the back), as the front of the foot is raised (dorsiflexed) reducing the angle between the foot and lower leg to less than 90°, then the mortise is confronted with an increasingly wider talus.

  4. Ankle fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle_fracture

    The ankle joint is a highly constrained, complex hinge joint composed of three bones: the tibia, the fibula, and the talus. [6] [7] The weight-bearing aspect of the tibia closest to the foot (known as the plafond) connects with the talus. This articulation (where two bones meet) is primarily responsible for plantarflexion (moving your foot down ...

  6. Stress fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_fracture

    Stress fractures most frequently occur in weight-bearing bones of the lower extremities, such as the tibia and fibula (bones of the lower leg), metatarsal and navicular bones (bones of the foot). Less common are stress fractures to the femur, pelvis, and sacrum. Treatment usually consists of rest followed by a gradual return to exercise over a ...

  7. Inferior tibiofibular joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_tibiofibular_joint

    The inferior tibiofibular joint, also known as the distal tibiofibular joint (tibiofibular syndesmosis), is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the distal end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia.

  8. Ankle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle

    The main bones of the ankle region are the talus (in the foot), the tibia, and fibula (both in the leg). The talocrural joint is a synovial hinge joint that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula in the lower limb with the proximal end of the talus. [7] The articulation between the tibia and the talus bears more weight than that ...

  9. Maisonneuve fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maisonneuve_fracture

    Patients generally do not report pain near the proximal fibula, so physical examination such as palpation along the fibula is effective for differentiating a Maisonneuve fracture from an isolated syndesmotic injury. [4] Feeling pain near the proximal fibula during palpation is a positive indication of a Maisonneuve fracture. [12]
