Outer ankle ligaments, artwork C013 / 4455

Outer ankle ligaments. Computer artwork of the bones and ligaments (white) of the feet and ankles from an oblique side view, with the outer side of the left foot at upper centre. The two lower leg bones are the fibula and tibia (behind fibula). In the foot are the heel bone (calcaneus), the tarsal bones, the metatarsals, and the phalanges (toes). The tibia and fibula articulate with the talus bone in the foot to form the ankle joint. Ligaments are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue that hold the bones of a joint together. These ligaments, named for the bones they join, are the tibiofibular, talofibular, and calcaneofibular

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of outer ankle ligaments in the human body. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a detailed oblique side view of the feet and ankles, with a focus on the outer side of the left foot at upper center. The image highlights various key components, including the fibula and tibia (the two lower leg bones), as well as important structures within the foot such as the heel bone (calcaneus), tarsal bones, metatarsals, and phalanges (toes). These elements work together to form our musculoskeletal system and enable us to walk, run, and perform various physical activities effortlessly. Ligaments play a crucial role in maintaining joint stability by connecting bones. The ligaments depicted here include the tibiofibular ligament that joins the tibia and fibula, along with other significant connections like talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments. Understanding these complex interconnections is vital for medical professionals involved in orthopedics or sports medicine. Through this visually striking illustration from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library's collection, viewers gain insight into both normal anatomy and healthy biomechanical function. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, educators, healthcare providers, or anyone curious about unraveling the intricacies of our remarkable bodies.
