The Ankle Joint
• The ankle joint is one of the most common joints to be injured.
• The foot is usually in the plantar flexed and inverted position when the ankle is most commonly injured.
Bröstrom, 1966

• In plantar flexion there is some side-to-side movement

• The talus has no muscles attached to it
• Has a very extensive articular surface
• As a result fractures of the talus may result in avascular necrosis of either the body or the head

Posterior Aspect of Talus
• Two tubercles• Groove contains flexor
hallucis longus• Medial tubercle is smaller• Lateral is larger, posterior
talofibular ligament attached• 7% separate ossification called os
trigonum• There is a triangular facet on the
posterior surface which articulates with the inferior transverse tibiofibular ligament

Congenital Abnormalities
• Congenital abnormalities include os trigonum and tarsal coalition
• Os trigonum in 7% of normal population but in 32% of soccer players
• It is a problem in soccer players, ballet dancers and javelin
• Forced hyperplantar flexion compresses the posterior portion of the ankle and may fracture the lateral tubercle or an os trigonum

The Posterior Ligament
• The posterior ligament fibres pass from: the tibia and fibula and converge to be attached to the medial tubercle of the talus
• Transverse ligament fibres form the lower part of the posterior part of the capsule, blend with the inferior transverse ligament
• The posterior ligament is thicker laterally
• Capsule is strengthened on either side by the collateral ligaments

The ATFL
• Is part of the capsule • An upper and lower bands• It is cylindrical, 6-10 mm
long and 2 mm thick• The anterior inferior
border of the fibula runs parallel to the long axis of the talus when the ankle is neutral or dorsiflexion
• More perpendicular to the talus when the foot is equinus

• It is the weakest ligament• Strain increases with
increasing plantar flexion and inversion
• The AFTL is a primary stabiliser against inversion and internal rotation for all angles of plantar flexion

• A long rounded 20-25 mm long, 6-8 mm in diameter
• It contains the most elastic tissue
• It is attached in front of the apex of the fibular malleolus
• Passes downwards and backwards
• To a tubercle on the lateral aspect of the calcaneusWilliams & Warwick, 1980

The CFL MOB TCD

• It is separated from the capsule by fibro-fatty tissue
• Part of the medial wall of the peroneal tendon sheath
• Crosses both the ankle and subtalar joints
• The CFL has the highest linear elastic modulus of the three ligaments
Siegler et al., 1988

• When the ankle is in the neutral or dorsiflexion, the CFL is perpendicular to the long axis of the talus
• Dorsiflexion and inversion result in an increased strain
• Talar tilt tests the CFL

The Lateral Ligament
• The angle between the ATFL and CFL varies between 100o and 135o
• Increasing the potential instability of the lateral ligament
• The ATFL is the main talar stabiliser and the CFL acts as a secondary restraint
Hamilton, 1994; Peters, 1991

ATFL and CFL
• A difference of 10o between the two ankles is significant.
• A talar tilt of more than 10o is a lateral ligament injury in 99% of cases
• The AFTL is injured in 65% and combined injuries of the AFTL and CFL occur in 20%
• The CFL is a major stabiliser of the subtalar joint

The Posterior Talar Fibular (PTL)
• The PTL is the strongest part of the lateral ligament
• It runs almost horizontally from malleolar fossa to lateral tubercle of talus

• During plantar flexion the posterior talofibular and the posterior tibio fibular ligament are edge to edge
• They separate during dorsiflexion• The greatest strain on the
ligament is when the foot is plantar flexed and everted

• In 7% of normal population the lateral tubercle has a separate ossification and is called an os trigonum
• It occurs in 32% of soccer players
• Tarsal coalition is another congenital abnormality

Synovial Membrane
• Lines the capsule and the non articular areas
• It is reflected on to the neck• Extends upwards between
the tibia and fibula to the interosseous ligament of the inferior tibiofibular joint
• Covers the fatty pads that lie in relation to the anterior and posterior parts of the capsule

Ankle Stability
• The ankle is most stable in dorsiflexion, with increasing plantar flexion there is more anterior talar translation (drawer) and talar inversion (tilt)
• The ATFL is the main talar stabiliser and the CFL acts as a secondary restraint

• The tibiocalcaneal and the tibionavicular control abduction of the talus
• The calcaneofibular controls adduction• The anterior tibiotalar and the anterior talofibular
ligament control plantar flexion• Posterior tibiotalar and the posterior talar fibular
ligament resist dorsiflexion• Both the anterior tibiotalar and the tibionavicular
control external rotation and with the anterior talofibular internal rotation of the talus
• The anterior talofibular is the primary stabilizer of the ankle joint

• The tibial nerve gives off the medial calcaneal nerve then divides into the medial and lateral plantar nerves
• The medial calcaneal vessels and nerve pierce the flexor retinaculum to supply the skin of the heel

Posterior Aspect
• Achilles tendon separated by a bursa and pad of fat
• Posterolateral portal is lateral to achilles tendon, sural nerve and short saphenous vein at risk
• Postero-medial not used; flexor retinaculum structures at risk

Movements of Ankle joint
• Dorsiflexion is close packed or stable position
• Wider portion of body of talus between malleoli
• Range of 30 o
• Need 10 o dorsiflexion to run

Movements of Ankle joint
• Plantar flexion• Some side to side
movement• Narrow portion of body
between malleoli, 50-60 o
• Least pack, unstable position
• Wide variation

Plantar Flexion
• During plantar flexion• The dorsal capsule• The anterior fibres of the
deltoid• The anterior talofibular
ligaments are under maximum tension
• Plantar flexion is caused mainly by the action of the achilles tendon
• Assisted by the tibialis posterior
• Flexor digitorum longus• Flexor hallucis longus• Peroneus longus and
brevis

• The ankle is most stable in dorsiflexion, with increasing plantar flexion there is more anterior talar translation (drawer) and talar inversion (tilt)
