ANTERIOR ANKLE. Patient positioned as above. Anterior talo-fibula ligament (ATFL): Place the heel of the probe on the anterior aspect of the distal fibula and rotate the toe of the probe towards the 2nd toe. The ligament should be readily visible as a …

2023年10月30日 · The ankle joint receives arterial blood supply from the anterior and posterior tibial and fibular arteries. These arteries form an anastomosis around the malleoli that gives off anterior medial and lateral malleolar branches to supply the ankle joint.

These include the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and the posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL). A thick ligament, called the deltoid ligament, supports the medial ankle (the side closest to your other ankle).

2025年1月27日 · The ankle is a hinge-type synovial joint that connects the leg to the foot. It is formed by the articulation of three bones: the tibia (medial), the fibula (lateral), and the talus (inferior). The ankle joint primarily allows for movements like dorsiflexion (upward movement) and plantarflexion (downward movement).

The anterior region of ankle is located in front of the ankle joint. It denotes the area where the extensor surface of the leg meets the dorsum of the foot. Being a synovial joint, the ankle joint is enveloped by a fibrous capsule. However, the capsule exhibits laxity in the anterior ankle region, facilitating a wide range of motion during ...

2023年5月23日 · The tibialis anterior muscle, found in the anterior compartment of the leg, is the primary muscle that facilitates dorsiflexion of the ankle joint. The peroneus longus and peroneus brevis muscles, found in the lateral compartment of the leg, function to facilitate eversion of the ankle joint. [2] Ligament Testing.

2025年1月7日 · Anterior Inferior Tibiofibular Ligament (AITFL): Connects the tibia and fibula at the front of the ankle. Posterior Inferior Tibiofibular Ligament (PITFL) and Transverse Ligament: Provide stability across the back of the tibia and fibula.

2024年7月15日 · There is an anterolateral, posteromedial and lateral compartment of the ankle typically superficial to the joint. The posteromedial compartment, in order of anterior to posterior has the tendons of tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus, the posterior tibial artery, the tibial nerve and flexor hallucis longus tendon.

In simpler terms, the ankle is the area where the foot and the leg meet. It consists of three joints: the ankle joint or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the distal tibiofibular joint. In anatomical and medical contexts, it specifically refers to the ankle joint.
