Ankle Joint Anatomy Explained!

The ankle is made up of bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons that support the weight of your body and allows the individual to move in day to day life.

The ankle joint is made up of three bones; the fibula and tibia (shin bone) of the leg, and the talus of the foot. The fibula and tibia are bound together by tibiofibular ligaments.

The bony bumps or protrusions seen and felt on the ankle have their own names:

The bony bump felt on the inside of your ankle is part of the tibia's base is medial malleolus.

The bony protrusion felt on the back of your ankle is also part of the tibia's base is known as posterior malleolus.

The bony bump on the outside of your ankle is the low end of the fibula is called as lateral malleolus.

The ankle joint allows up-and-down motion of our foot. The subtalar joint below the ankle joint allows a side-to-side movement of the foot. There are some numerous ligaments that are made of tough and moveable tissue surround the true ankle and subtalar joints, which bind the bones of the leg to each other and to those of the foot.

The ankle and foot are very complex with a variety of connecting bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

Ankle Ligaments:

In human anatomy, there are several strong bands of connective tissues called ligaments, which hold the bones of the ankles together. They include the following:

Lateral collateral ligaments connect the fibula to the calcaneus and provide stability to the outsides of the ankles.

Anterior tibiofibular ligament connects the tibia to the fibula.
Deltoid ligaments attach the tibia to the talus and calcaneus and gives stability to the insides of the ankles.

Ankle Tendons:

There are several tendons that run through the ankle, which attach the muscles of lower leg to the bones of the foot and ankle. Some major tendons include as follows:

•Flexor hallicus longus attaches to the big toe and runs along the inside of the ankle.
•Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscle and calcaneus bone.
•Flexor digitorum attaches to the other toes and runs along the inside of the ankle.
•Peroneal tendons is a set of three tendons that run along the outside of the ankle.
