Learning Outcomes At the end of this lecture, you will be able to:
Refresh on the anatomy of the ankle joint and foot.
Know generally on why and how the injuries occur in the ankle and foot complex
Name the common sports injuries affecting the ankle.

Introduction (Ankle Joint) Also known as talocrural joint. Consists of the trochlear surface of the talus and the distal
ends of the tibia and fibula. The talar trochlear is wider anteriorly, and so
plantarflexion is more free than dorsiflexion. Average values being 30-50 deg and 20-30 deg respectively.
Strengthen by variety of ligaments, the collaterals being the most important from the point of view of injury. Triangular shape medial collateral ligament (deltoid ligament) is
divided into anterior and posterior tibiotalar bands. Lateral collateral ligament is divided into 3 separate
components and is weaker than the medial collateral ligament. Anterior talofibular ligament (ATF) Posterior talofibular ligament (PTF) Calcaneofibular ligament
Role of the Collateral Ligaments in Ankle StabilityMovement Controlled by
Abduction of Talus Tibiocalcaneal and tibionavicular bands
Adduction of Talus Calcaneofibular ligament
Plantarflexion ATF ligament and anterior tibiotalar band
Dorsiflexion Posterior tibiotalar band and PTF ligament
External rotation of Talus
Anterior tibiotalar and tibionavicular bands
Internal rotation of Talus
As above with ATF ligament
Introduction (Plantar Fascia) Thickest Fascia in the body. Attaches from a point just behind the medial
tubercle of calcaneus and runs anteriorly as 5 slips. As slips approach the metatarsal heads, they
split into superficial and deep layers. Superficial layer attaches to superficial fascia
beneath the skin Deep layer divides into medial and lateral portions to
allow passage of flexor tendons. Each of the 5 portions attaches to the base of
proximal phalanx and to the deep transverse ligament.
As the foot dorsiflex and toes extend, fascia is tighten and longitudinal arch elevated.
Foot Alignment Pronated Foot
When the arch collapses too much and the foot rolls inward excessively, distributing weight unevenly.
One of the most common foot misalignments. Supinated Foot
When the foot leans to the outside. Weight is distributed along the outside. Also known as under pronation. Over supination reduces the body's natural shock
absorbing capability. Neutral Foot
Foot and ankle maintain a straight line. Weight is distributed evenly across the foot and
heel.
