lateral ligaments

anterior tibiotalar ligament

The anterior inferior ligament and the anterior ligament of the lateral malleolus are also known as the anterior tibiotalar ligament. It is located in the ankle. This ligament is made up of a triangular band of fibers that broadens as it descends.

tibiocalcaneal ligament

The tibiocalcaneal ligament is a thick, dark band that emerges from the middle of the malleolus and inserts into the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus, or heel bone.

posterior tibiotalar ligament

The posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) is one of three ligaments that compose the lateral collateral ligament complex of the ankle. When the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments are intact, it only has a secondary role in ankle joint stability and is also the least commonly injured of the three ligaments.
