Ankle ligaments are like cords that connect the foot bones with the lower leg bones. The true ankle joint, which is composed of three bones: The top of the talus fits inside a socket that is formed by the lower end of the tibia (shinbone) and the fibula (the small bone of the lower leg).
The Ankle, Or The Talocrural Region, Or The Jumping Bone (Informal) Is The Area Where The Foot And The Leg Meet.
The ankle bone is called the talus. There are a variety of anatomical structures that make up the anatomy of the foot and ankle (figure 1) including bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves. The ankle joint is formed by the connection of three bones.
Anatomy Of The Ankle The Ankle Is A Complex Mechanism.
Skeletal anatomy of the ankle. An ankle ligament can overstretch or tear, called a sprain. The tibia, the primary bone that connects the inside of the leg to.
The Tibia Forms The Inside (Medial) Portion Of The Ankle The Fibula Forms The Outside (Lateral) Portion Of The Ankle
For this reason, the ankle. The foot consists of thirty three bones, twenty six joints and over a hundred muscles, ligaments and tendons. Lateral and posterior ligaments of the ankle:
Ankles Allow For Agile Mobility, Massive Weight Support, And The Repeated Pressure Of Walking And Jogging.
The ligaments around the ankle can be divided, depending on their anatomic position, into three groups: The sole of the foot is the plantar surface. The tibia, the larger and stronger of the two lower leg bones, which forms the inside part of the of the ankle.
The Ankle Bears The Full Weight Of The Body, Which Is Enhanced With The Forces Applied In Activities Such As Running And Jumping.
Ligaments connect bone to bone to provide stability of the joints. The bony bumps (or protrusions) seen and felt on the ankle have their own names: The true ankle joint, which is composed of three bones:
