The ankle, or talocrural joint • Needs ligaments!
Anterior drawer test to evaluate the anterior talofibular ligament.
The ankle, or talocrural joint, is a hinge joint • Plantar Flexion • Dorsi Flexion Inversion/Eversion?
Intertarsal joint: • Subtalar joint (ST J.) • Talocalcaneonavicular joint (TCN J.) • Calcaneocuboid (small rotation) • Naviculoconeiforms (almost no movement)
TCN joint &calcaneonavicular ligament
Inteosseeoustalocalcanealligament separates the ST J. from TCN J.
