Structure

ankle joint

Latin

art. talocruralis

Description

the articulation between the distal tibia, the medial malleolus of the tibia, the lateral malleolus of the fibula and the talus

Notes

A synovial hinge joint; the ankle is reinforced by the deltoid ligament (anterior tibiotalar, tibionavicular, tibiocalcaneal, posterior tibiotalar parts), the anterior talofibular lig., the calcaneofibular lig. and the posterior talofibular lig.; because of the shape of the talus, the ankle is most stable when the foot is dorsiflexed; the ankle is often injured when the foot is plantar flexed
