Anterior talofibular ligament avulsion in the pediatric population

Current orthopaedic research projects 2010

The anterior talofibular is a security against the displacement of the foot forward, and limits extension of the joint.

III. Syndesmology. 7d. Talocrural Articulation or Ankle-joint 1918

The posterior talofibular ligament assists the calcaneofibular in resisting the displacement of the foot backward, and deepens the cavity for the reception of the talus.

III. Syndesmology. 7d. Talocrural Articulation or Ankle-joint 1918

Behind and beneath the articular surface is a rough depression, which gives attachment to the posterior talofibular ligament.

II. Osteology. 6c. 6. The Fibula 1918

—The anterior talofibular ligament, the shortest of the three, passes from the anterior margin of the fibular malleolus, forward and medially, to the talus, in front of its lateral articular facet.

III. Syndesmology. 7d. Talocrural Articulation or Ankle-joint 1918

The malleoli tightly embrace the talus in all positions of the joint, so that any slight degree of side-to-side movement which may exist is simply due to stretching of the ligaments of the talofibular syndesmosis, and slight bending of the body of the fibula.

III. Syndesmology. 7d. Talocrural Articulation or Ankle-joint 1918

Lateral to the groove is a prominent tubercle, the posterior process, to which the posterior talofibular ligament is attached; this process is sometimes separated from the rest of the talus, and is then known as the os trigonum.

II. Osteology. 6d. The Foot. 1. The Tarsus 1918

—The posterior talofibular ligament, the strongest and most deeply seated, runs almost horizontally from the depression at the medial and back part of the fibular malleolus to a prominent tubercle on the posterior surface of the talus immediately lateral to the groove for the tendon of the Flexor hallucis longus.

III. Syndesmology. 7d. Talocrural Articulation or Ankle-joint 1918

The lateral surface carries a large triangular facet, concave from above downward, for articulation with the lateral malleolus; its anterior half is continuous above with the trochlea; and in front of it is a rough depression for the attachment of the anterior talofibular ligament.

II. Osteology. 6d. The Foot. 1. The Tarsus 1918

The anterior and posterior talofibular and the calcaneofibular ligaments were formerly described as the three fasciculi of the external lateral ligament of the ankle-joint.
