1. posterior tibiotalar lig
2. tibiocalcaneal lig
3. tibionavicular lig
4. anterior tibiotalar lig

Question 3

Answer 3

eversion of the ankle

Question 4

lateral complex is made up of which ligaments (3)

Answer 4

1. anterior talofibular lig
2. posterior talofibular lig
3. calcaneofibular lig

Question 5

lateral complex: posterior talofibular ligament prevents

Answer 5

posterior translation of talus

excessive inversion

Question 6

lateral complex: calcaneofibular ligament prevents

Answer 6

excessive inversion

Question 7

lateral complex: ant talofibular ligament prevents

Answer 7

anterior translation of talus

excessive inversion

Question 8

which ankle ligaments (L or M) are more susceptible to injury and why?

Answer 8

Lateral

• lateral ligs smaller, skinnier, further apart
• medial ligs wider, closer together

Question 9

Answer 9

1. interosseous talocalcaneal ligament
2. cervical ligament
3. inferior extensor retinaculum
4. bifurcated ligament

Question 10

subtalar joint:

this ligament is thick, strong band of 2 partially joined fibers that bind talus and calcaneus

Answer 10

interosseous talocalcaneal ligament

Question 11

subtalar joint:

this ligament is found at the neck of the talus and the dorsal aspect of the calcaneus

Answer 11

cervical ligament

Question 12

lateral ligamentous structure: bifurcated splits into

Answer 12

1. calcaneocuboid

2. calcaneonavicular

Question 13

Answer 14

long plantar lig

Question 15

this ligament comes from the calcaneus to the cuboid

Answer 15
