The Ankle Joint PPT Summary
- The ankle is a hinged synovial joint connecting the tibia, fibula, and talus, forming a tibiofibular mortise around the talus.
- The medial (deltoid) and lateral ligaments provide stability, preventing excessive eversion and inversion of the foot.
- The joint is stable during dorsiflexion but less stable during plantar flexion. The tibial and deep peroneal nerves supply it.
- Ankle sprains, often caused by excessive inversion, typically involve the anterior talofibular ligament. Pott’s fracture refers to ankle fractures caused by forced eversion.
- Strong collateral ligaments, the shape of the talus, and interlocking articular surfaces all contribute to the ankle joint’s stability.
