  2. Lateral talocalcaneal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_talocalcaneal_ligament

    The lateral talocalcaneal ligament (external calcaneo-astragaloid ligament) is a ligament in the ankle. It is a short, strong fasciculus , passing from the lateral surface of the talus , immediately beneath its fibular facet to the lateral surface of the calcaneus .

  3. 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]

  4. Evans technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evans_Technique

    The Evans technique is a surgical procedure to treat the mechanical instability of the lateral ankle ligaments. [1] [2]In the Evans procedure, [3] the peroneus brevis muscle is separated from its musculotendinous compound and its proximal end is sutured to the peroneus longus.

  5. Hoover's sign (leg paresis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover's_sign_(leg_paresis)

    Involuntary extension of the "normal" leg occurs when flexing the contralateral leg against resistance. To perform the test, the examiner should hold one hand under the heel of the "normal" limb and ask the patient to flex the contralateral hip against resistance (while the patient is supine), asking the patient to keep the weak leg straight while raising it.

  6. Broström procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broström_procedure

    The Broström operation (or Broström-Gould technique) is a repair of ligaments on lateral ankle. It is designed to address ankle instability. More importantly, it is primarily used to repair the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) in the ankle. It is thought that the majority of patients regain most function in their ankles.

  7. Haglund's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haglund's_syndrome

    Middle age is the most common age of affection, females are more affected than males, and the occurrence is often bilateral. A clinical feature of this condition is pain in the back of the heel, which is more after rest. Clinical evaluation and lateral radiographs of the ankle are mostly enough to make a diagnosis of Haglund's syndrome. [2]

  8. Lateral collateral ligament of ankle joint - Wikipedia

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

    The most common ligament involved in ankle sprain is the anterior talofibular ligament. posterior talofibular ligament; The posterior talofibular ligament runs horizontally between the neck of the talus and the medial side of lateral malleolus calcaneofibular ligament

  9. Gait deviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_deviations

    Lateral sway; Step variability; Internal rotation; Similar to decreased stride length and increased step width, lateral sway is generally postulated to be an indication of gait instability. The gait naturally widens to account for a greater instability or external perturbations to balance. Step variability is also related to balance and lateral ...
