Description[edit | edit source]
A syndesmosis is a fibrous joint between two bones and linked by ligaments and a strong membrane. [1]
The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is a syndesmotic joint. It is formed between the distal tibia and fibula and it is attached by the interosseous ligament and 3 major ligaments: the distal anterior tibiofibular ligament (ATIFL), the distal posterior tibiofibular ligament (PTIFL) and the transverse ligament.
