Ankle anatomy for the arthroscopist. Part II: Role of the ankle ligaments in soft tissue impingement.
Foot and Ankle Clinics 2006 June
The biomechanical anatomy of the ankle ligaments continues to be a subject of interest because detailed knowledge of these structures is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of the injuries affecting them. Lesions to the ankle ligaments are one of the most common sports injuries and the origin of soft tissue impingement syndrome. Together with the ligaments of the tibiofibular syndesmosis, two large ligamentous complexes are the main static stabilizers of the ankle joint: the lateral collateral ligament and the medial collateral (or deltoid) ligament. This article provides an anatomic description of the various ligaments of the ankle joint, with particular emphasis on specific anatomic details that are often omitted or little known and that have considerable clinical interest because of their involvement in soft tissue syndrome.
