Lateral Ligaments of Ankle[edit | edit source]
Reinforce Joint Laterally through three ligaments. These three ligaments provide stability by attaching the lateral malleolus to the bones below the ankle joint. They are responsible for resistance against inversion and internal rotation stress.
Medial Ligaments of Ankle[edit | edit source]
Reinforce joint capsule medially. Stabilise’s the ankle joint during eversion of the foot and prevents subluxation of the ankle joint. Attaches proximally to the Medial Malleolus and fans out to attach distally to the Talus, Calcaneus and Navicular via four adjacent and continuous parts.
