What is ankle joint?
The ankle joint is located, where the talus bones in the rear leg meet the lower part of the bones of the tibia and the fibula in the lower leg. Alternatively known as a talocral joint is categorized as a joint joint, a type of synovial or movable joint that allows movement in one plane. Specifically, the ankle joint is able to slide the ankle on the front side, which is an action that is referred to as dorsiflexe and plantarflex. Most of this weight is transmitted by the bones of the tibia, and therefore a large part of the surface area of the superior or upper talus in the ankle joint is reserved for articulation with tibia. This upper surface of the talus, which is a convex shape, is known as the trochlea tali and articulates with the lower or lower aspect of the lower end of the tibia.
In addition to the articulation between the bottom of the tibia and the tal, the ankle joint consists of articulation between two other bone surfaces and the upper oneStick, found on both sides of the trochlea tali. The tibia media, which is a rounded bony meaning at the lower or distal ends of the tibia, encounters a smaller and similarly convex joint aspect found by the interior of the trochlea at the top of the talus bone. Similarly, Fibula establishes contact with Talus, its side Malleolus, bony meaning at the lower end of the fibula bone, which is felt on the outside of the ankle and formulates an aspect on the outer upper aspect of the talus.
The whole articulation between the talus and the media Malleolus, the lower tibia and the lateral Malleolus form an ankle joint. This joint is held and stabilized by several bonds, including a deltooid ligament, an anterior talophibular ligament, a rear talofibular ligament and a calcaneofibular ligament. Deltoid ligaments, also known as the media ligament of the talocral joint, are named for its triangular shape and connects the talus with the media mallool along the inside of the joint. Front and rear talofibular ligaments pass toLoub on its outer or side and connect the lateral Malleolus to the talus. Finally, calcaneofibular liga is between the bone of the heels and the lateral Malleolus, also along the side aspect of the joint.
