Lateral Ankle Ligaments

Lateral Ankle Ligaments. Lateral Ligament Sprain. Lateral ligaments ( calcaneofibular and anterior/posterior talofibular ligaments) are weaker than MEDIAL ligaments so INVERSION sprains are more common than EVERSION sprains!. Lateral Ligament Sprain. Most common ankle injury

Presentation Transcript

  1. Lateral Ankle Ligaments

  2. Lateral Ligament Sprain • Lateral ligaments (calcaneofibularand anterior/posterior talofibular ligaments) are weaker than MEDIAL ligaments so INVERSION sprains are more common than EVERSION sprains!

  3. Lateral Ligament Sprain • Most common ankle injury • MOI = Inversion and plantar flexion • Ankle sprain wrapping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAfMArBFBNI&feature=related

  4. Lateral Ligament Sprain • Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATF) is injured first. (mild sprain) • The Calcaneofibular Ligament (CF) is injured in more severe sprains • The Posterior Talofibular Ligament is injured in the most severe sprains

  5. Peroneal Tendon Injury • Can occur when lateral ankle ligaments are injured • Common problems are dislocation of tendons over lateral malleolus or peroneal tendonitis

  6. Medial Ligament Sprain:Deltoid Ligament • Deltoid ligament sprain is associated with EVERSION.

  7. Medial Ligament Sprain(Deltoid Ligament) • Often associated with fractures of lateral malleolus (of FIBULA) • Eversion Sprain • If force continues, the deltoid ligament is stretched and torn

  8. Achilles Tendon • Tear to Achilles Tendon is a sprain or a strain?

  9. Plantar Fascia • Plantar Fascia supports the arch of the foot

  10. Palpating the Plantar Fascia
