Ankle Ligaments Anatomy - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the anatomy of the ankle ligaments.
The ankle joint is made of three bones, the tibia, the fibula and the talus. The tibia is the major bone of the lower leg which bears the majority of the body weight. At the angle, the bump of the tibia forms the medial malleolus. The fibula is the smaller of the two bone of the leg. The lateral end of the fibula forms the lateral malleolus. In the ankle joint the talus articulates with the tibia. The talus is involved in multiple movements of the foot.
There are ligaments in the ankle that provide connections between the bones. Injury to any of these ligaments may occur when the foot twists, rolls or turns beyond its normal motion. An ankle sprain is a common injury that occurs in sports as basketball and soccer.
The deltoid ligament is on the medial side. It is formed of four parts: anterior tibiotalar part, tibionavicular part, tibiocalcaneal part and the posterior tibiotalar. The superficial deltoid arises from the anterior colliculus. The deep deltoid arises form the posterior colliculus and the intercollicular groove. The deltoid ligament is the main stabilizer of the ankle joint during the stance phase. The deltoid ligament is rarely injured by itself and it is usually associated with fractures.
There are 3 lateral ligaments of the ankle joint:
The anterior talofibular ligament (weakest): origin: 10 mm proximal to the tip of the fibula. Extends from the anterior inferior border of the fibula to the neck of the talus.
The posterior talofibular ligament ( strongest): origin from the posterior border of the fibula. Inserts into posterolateral tubercle of the talus
Calcaneofibular ligament: origin anterior border of the fibula 1 cm proximal to the distal tip. Inserts into the calcaneus distal to the subtalar joint and deep to the peroneal tendon sheath. The lateral ligaments are the most commonly injured ligaments in the ankle.
The ligament of the syndesmosis
•Anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament
•Interosseous ligament
•Posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament
The connection of the tibia and fibula is called the syndesmosis.
High ankle sprain = syndesmosis injury 5-10%. Injury of the ligaments above the ankle.

After studying foot/ankle bones this helped me quickly learn the ankle ligaments and their weaknesses.

[@elsagrace3893]

This is awesome. The ankle doesn’t make structural sense without the ligaments. Thank you, Dr. Nabeel.

Everyone is here because they're studying this, while I'm here because I've sprained ankles.

Amazingggg.... 👌Thank you for posting these information free of cost, 💕very helpful for me as a struggling medical student studying orthopedics thank you so very much....much love from Mauritius!!!!!!❤️

[@jacobstaton99]

Mauritian Doc read a textbook

[@merelymaterial]

concise and efficient explanation. many thanks!!

[@HafizahHoshni]

This video is amazing! Thanks for uploading them. 21/12/2018 😃😃

Thanks for uploading such informative video. However, I would love to see the skeleton dancing instead of moving its jaws.

[@thelebbies]

Great video

Thanks a lot

I saw a female, age 54, with anterolateral ankle pain when she dorsiflexes the ankle to slam the calcaneous into the surface when she's going downhill with hiking /walking etc. The pain occurs in the area of the anterior talofibular ligament and the tendons of the distal dorsiflexors of the forefoot. No effusions. Ideas? She has no recent trauma, has a history of trail running and rolling the ankles, but nothing specific.

ممتاز .

[@jetendratatlall3477]

What if you damage a ligment will it repair it self

[@peaceandfreedom101]

yes but with scar tissue. If it tear completely sometime you have to do surgery

[@wetinbidat]

so funny....love it

[@FlatWaterFilms]

Ok, so how long to heal these buggers? Bones break, they get set and they heal. How about the soft tissue?

[@tollutollu]

THE END OF THE FIBULA *earth starts shaking, your bones vibrate* FORMS THE LATERAL *eardrums burst* M A L L E O L U S *air ionizes and turns to plasma*

[@elsagrace3893]

tolin what is the meaning of this?

[@SlicedSlappy]

Just had ATFL reconstruction

[@guardiandog2445]

poor guy,...hunger and lack of exercice have taken its toll 😂 Soon I will look like him. Have a Tear on the Right Lateral Anterior Talofibular Ligament , Inferior Calcaneal Enthesopathy and subcutaneous edema of the Inferior Calaneus,all well confirmed by an MRI, ...since then, I been on Prolotherapy, plus on an Air Cast Walking Boot ,..and I'm a Runner 🏃‍♂️!!!!...recovery time seems to take forever !!!...Will end confined in a madhouse if I dont get to go out for my daily ("fabulous") 6 miles run soon !!🥶😵‍💫😭🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️
