When you saw me last, I was talking about the
0:02
posterior ligaments of the ankle, which started in
0:05
the high ankle and ended in the low ankle,
0:08
and I showed you the crural ligaments in between.
0:12
And now I'd like to move forward towards
0:14
the more anterior ligamentous structures.
0:17
So let's do that.
0:18
Now, this projection, which is straight,
0:22
orthogonal, coronal, with the foot in
0:24
the neutral position, is not ideally
0:27
suited to look at the anterior ligaments.
0:30
Very much.
0:31
But since many of you are going to
0:32
look at projections like this with high
0:35
resolution, I think you need to have
0:38
some familiarity with these ligaments.
0:40
So let's work our way forward.
0:42
And right coming off the tip of the
0:43
fibula, right there, and right there,
0:46
is the most commonly torn ligament in the
0:48
ankle, the anterior tibial, anterior talofibular
0:51
ligament, also known as the ATAF or ATF.
0:57
So it should attach to the talus, and it does.
1:02
Now what about the calcaneofibular ligament?
1:06
That one is a lot tougher for two reasons.
1:08
Its course is more bizarre,
1:10
and it's also a lot thinner.
1:12
So you can spot portions of it in the
1:15
coronal projection, but you usually don't
1:17
see it in its entirety unless the foot is
1:21
plantar flexed or your coronal is an oblique.
1:26
We also have some much higher ligaments that
1:30
consist of syndesmotic membranes.
1:33
That'll be a story for another day, and we'll talk
1:35
about the deltoid ligaments separately.
1:37
But that really concludes our coronal evaluation
1:40
of the posterior ligaments earlier in another
1:42
vignette, and now the anterior ligaments,
1:45
which admittedly are harder to see in this projection.
