Ankle anatomy normal ap mortise.
Ankle gutter anatomy.
The joint extends into the lateral gutter 1 and the medial gutter 2 the joint is evenly spaced throughout.
The medial ankle gutter is comprised of the medial malleolus and medial talar articulation with the deep fibers of the deltoid ligament encountered inferiorly.
3 during an inversion ankle injury the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament are affected as is the distal syndesmosis.
The anterolateral ankle gutter is the most common site of ankle impingement.
It is known as a simple synovial condyloid joint.
The distal tibia and fibula articulate with each other at the distal tibiofibular joint which is more commonly referred to as the tibiofibular syndesmosis or simply the syndesmosis.
Anatomy the ankle is a synovial joint composed of the distal tibia and fibula as they articulate with the talus.
Anterior ankle impingement typically occurs in athletes who have played years in sports that involve a kicking motion or repeated ankle extremes of motion.
The corresponding posterior facet on the superior surface of the calcaneus.
This joint due to its orientation allows the movements of inversion 0 35 degrees and eversion 0 25 degrees broken down this must mean the joint allows some amount of glide and rotation.
The fibular collateral ligament complex provides further lateral support to the ankle.
Patients will complain of pain around the anterolateral ankle gutter during weightbearing and may feel like the pain is deep in the joint.
The iateral ankle gutter is comprised of the articulation between the fibula and talar dome with the lateral collateral ligaments encountered inferiorly.
Moderate scarring of the deltoid ligament complex which could be a source of posteromedial ankle impingement pomi lesion.
The cfl is by far the strongest of these.
Anterior ankle impingement is a source of chronic ankle pain seen in athletes that complain of longstanding chronic pain in the front of their ankle.
The lateral collateral ligament complex is comprised of the anterior talofibular ligament atfl the calcaneofibular ligament cfl and the posterior talo fibular ligament ptfl.
Anterolateral impingement is thought to occur subsequent to relatively minor inversion injuries of the ankle.
Anterolateral impingement of the ankle is a relatively uncommon cause of chronic lateral ankle pain produced by entrapment of abnormal soft tissue in the anterolateral gutter of the ankle 2 4.
The weight bearing portion is formed by the tibial plafond and the talar dome.
