Additional Information/Pictures

The Ankle Ligaments

The ankle joint is a hinge between the leg and the foot. The bones of the leg (tibia and fibula) form a sort of slot and the curved top bone of the foot (talus) fits between them. The talus is held to the tibia and fibula by strong bands of tissue called ligaments. Each ligament is made of many strands or fibers of a material called collagen, which is extremely strong.

The ligament on the inside of the ankle (medial or deltoid ligament) has two layers; the deepest one is most important. This ligament is mainly torn in association with severe fractures of the ankle bones.

The ligament on the outside of the ankle (lateral ligament) is made up of three separate bands: one at the front (anterior talo-fibular ligament), one in the middle (calcaneo-fibular ligament) and one at the back (posterior talo-fibular ligament). The front band is the usual ligament injured in sprains or tears of the ankle ligaments, and the middle band is sometimes affected.
