Ankle Sprain In the case of an ankle sprain, there are several commonly sprained ligaments. 1.The ATFL or anterior talofibular ligament, which connects the talus to the fibula on the outside of the ankle. 2.The CFL or calcaneal fibular ligament, which connects the fibula to the calcaneus below.

- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. The tarsal tunnel is an area on the inside of the ankle, just below the prominent ankle bone. Under the skin the tunnel is covered with a thick band (the flexor retinaculum) that protects the arteries, veins, tendons and nerves as they travel from the back of the leg around the ankle and into the foot.

How to Care for a Sprained Ankle A sprained ankle means one or more ligaments on the outer side of your ankle were stretched or torn. If a sprain is not treated properly, you could have long-term problems. Typically the ankle is rolled either inward (inversion sprain) or outward (eversion sprain). sprained ankle means one or more ligaments on the outer side of your ankle were stretched or torn.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome The tarsal tunnel is a narrow space that lies on the inside of the ankle next to the ankle bones. The tunnel is covered with a thick ligament (the flexor retinaculum) that protects and maintains the structures contained within the tunnel—arteries, veins, tendons, and nerves.

- Sprained Ankle. An ankle sprain occurs when the strong ligaments that support the ankle stretch beyond their limits and tear. Ankle sprains are common injuries that occur among people of all ages. They range from mild to severe, depending upon how much damage there is to the ligaments. Most sprains are minor injuries that heal with home treatments like rest and applying ice.

Sprained ankle When the ankle becomes inverted, the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments are damaged. This is the most common ankle sprain. A less common type of ankle sprain is called an eversion injury, affecting the medial side of the foot.

talus ankle. 1. the joint between the leg and foot. 2. the area around this joint (see illustration). The ankle is a hinge joint formed by the junction of the tibia and fibula with the talus (ankle bone).The bones are cushioned by cartilage and connected by a number of ligaments, tendons, and muscles that strengthen the joint and enable it to be moved.a·li. The bone of the foot that articulates superiorly with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint inferiorly with the calcaneus to form the subtalar joint, and anteriorly with the navicular, forming the medial component of the transverse tarsal joint.

Physical Therapy in Bothell for Ankle Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that help connect bones together. Three ligaments make up the lateral ligament complex on the side of the ankle farthest from the other ankle. They are the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and the posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL).

The Ankle Joint The bones involved in ankle articulation include the tibia, fibula and talus. The tibia and fibula are the long bones of the lower leg; the fibula, a relatively thinner bone, is lateral to the tibia.hree separate ligaments stabilize the lateral aspect of the ankle joint: the anterior talofibular, calcaneofibular and posterior talofibular ligaments. Medially, support comes from a collective group of ligaments known as the deltoid ligament. Inversion/Eversion.

Talus bone The talus (/ˈteɪləs/; Latin for ankle[1]), talus bone, astragalus /əˈstræɡələs/, or ankle bone is one of the group of foot bones known as the tarsus. The tarsus forms the lower part of the ankle joint through its articulations with the lateral and medial malleoli of the two bones of the lower leg, the tibia and fibula.

Sprained Ankle Sprained Ankle. A sprained ankle is one of the most common sports injuries and is also the most frequently re-injured. In the majority of cases the ankle rolls inwards (inversion) under the weight of the rest of the body, resulting in damage to the ligaments on the outside of the ankle.

Ligaments of the Foot and Ankle Overview Definition. Ligaments are strong connective tissue composed of fibrous tissues. They connect bones to other bones, and are extremely important in stabilizing joints. The ligaments of the foot and ankle can be divided into groups including: 1. Ligaments Stabilizing the Ankle Joint. 1  The anterior Talo-fibular ligament (outside or lateral ankle joint).

Ankle Sprain An ankle sprain can range from mild to severe, depending on how badly the ligament is damaged and how many ligaments are injured. With a mild sprain, the ankle may be tender, swollen, and stiff. But it usually feels stable, and you can walk with little pain.

- Ligaments are strong, fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones. The ligaments in the ankle help to keep the bones in proper position and stabilize the joint. Most sprained ankles occur in the lateral ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Sprains can range from tiny tears in the fibers that make up the ligament to complete tears through the tissue. If there is a complete tear of the ligaments, the ankle may become unstable after the initial injury phase passes. Over time, this instability can result in damage to the bones and cartilage of the ankle joint. A twisting force to the lower leg or foot can cause a sprain.

- A sprained ankle, also known as an ankle sprain, twisted ankle, rolled ankle, floppy ankle, ankle injury or ankle ligament injury, is a common medical condition where one or more of the ligaments of the ankle is torn or partially torn.nkle sprains are classified grade 1, 2, and 3. Depending on the amount of damage or the number of ligaments that are damaged, each sprain is classified from mild to severe. A grade 1 sprain is defined as mild damage to a ligament or ligaments without instability of the affected joint.

Ankle Sprain Symptoms and Signs A sprain is actually an injury to the ligaments of the ankle joint, which are elastic, band-like structures that hold the bones of the ankle joint together and prevent excess turning and twisting of the joint. In normal movement, the ligaments can stretch slightly and then retract back to their normal shape and size.
