  2. Malleolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malleolus

    The lateral malleolus is found at the foot end of the fibula, of a pyramidal form, and somewhat flattened from side to side; it descends to a lower level than the medial malleolus. The medial surface presents in front a smooth triangular surface, convex from above downward, which articulates with a corresponding surface on the lateral side of ...

  3. Talus bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talus_bone

    These leg bones have two prominences (the lateral and medial malleoli) that articulate with the talus. At the foot end, within the tarsus, the talus articulates with the calcaneus (heel bone) below, and with the curved navicular bone in front; together, these foot articulations form the ball-and-socket-shaped talocalcaneonavicular joint.

  4. Ankle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle

    Fracture of both sides of the ankle with dislocation as seen on anteroposterior X-ray. (1) fibula, (2) tibia, (arrow) medial malleolus, (arrowhead) lateral malleolus. An ankle fracture is a break of one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint. [20] Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to walk on the injured ...

  5. Lateral collateral ligament of ankle joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_collateral...

    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.

  6. Fibula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibula

    The lateral surface is the space between the antero-lateral and postero-lateral borders. It is broad, and often deeply grooved; it is directed lateralward in the upper two-thirds of its course, backward in the lower third, where it is continuous with the posterior border of the lateral malleolus.

  7. Calcaneofibular ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcaneofibular_ligament

    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]

  8. Posterior talofibular ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_talofibular_ligament

    The posterior talofibular ligament is a ligament that connects the fibula to the talus bone.It runs almost horizontally from the malleolar fossa of the lateral malleolus of the fibula to the lateral tubercle on the posterior surface of the talus. [1]

  9. Anterior tibiofibular ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_tibiofibular_ligament

    The anterior ligament of the lateral malleolus (anterior tibiofibular ligament or anterior inferior ligament) is a flat, trapezoidal band of fibers, broader below than above, which extends obliquely downward and lateralward between the adjacent margins of the tibia and fibula, on the front aspect of the syndesmosis.
