Deltoid Ligament: Superficial Layer Lateral view

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

Superficial ligaments, lateral,

0:03

sometimes you can see them.

0:05

More important is the contour

0:07

and shape of the malleolus.

0:09

But this time, we can see some of them.

0:11

For instance, here, in the back, is the

0:15

origin, and the continuation and insertion

0:18

of the posterior tibiotalar ligament.

0:22

What about the tibiocalcaneal ligament?

0:25

We can see a little bit of that headed

0:26

towards the calcaneus, but not the insertion.

0:29

It dives out of the plane of section.

0:32

But the all-important and fairly broad,

0:35

superficial tibiospring ligament, which

0:38

is going to the horizontally oriented

0:41

superior calcaneonavicular ligament, is

0:44

visible as a triangular-shaped structure.

0:48

And finally, the less important ligament of

0:51

the superficial group, the tibionavicular

0:54

ligament, is visible in this projection.

0:57

So we've got them all, from back to front,

1:02

the posterior tibiotalar, tibiocalcaneal,

1:07

tibiospring, and tibionavicular.

1:10

If you get a chance, you might want to log

1:13

into our vignette that shows a diagram of

1:16

each ligament coming in, in succession.
