Study Notes

Ankle Joint

The term 'ankle' specifically refers to the talocrural joint.
The ankle joint is a synovial hinge joint.

Ankle/Foot Complex

The bones that form the hindfoot segment of the ankle/foot complex are the talus and calcaneus.
The medial malleolus of the distal tibia provides the articulating surface for the distal fibula.
The posterior margin of the distal tibia is sometimes referred to as the medial malleolus.

Ligaments

The Deltoid ligament is larger than the lateral collateral ligament and is located on the medial side of the ankle.
The distal tibiofibular joint is supported by the anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments.

Joint Characteristics

The proximal tibiofibular joint is a plane synovial joint.
The articulating surface of the distal tibia is known as a pulley-like shape.
The motions that occur around the single oblique axis of the ankle joint are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion.
