The term Deltoid ligament is often used as an alternative term for the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) of the ankle joint. 

The MCL has attachments to the tibia (medial malleolus), talus, calcaneus and navicular. Although a unified structure, the medial collateral ligament is often described as having functionally separate bands, each called a ligament.

The following ligaments stabilise the ankle joint

1 Tibiotalar ligament

2 Cervical ligament

3 Interosseous talocalcaneal ligament

4 Calcaneofibular ligament

5 Posterior talofibular ligament

Page 11: Exam Questions Ankle Joint

The following ligaments stabilise the ankle joint

1 Tibiotalar ligament T

2 Cervical ligament F

3 Interosseous talocalcaneal ligament F

4 Calcaneofibular ligament T

5 Posterior talofibular ligament T

The Tibiotalar ligament is part of the medial collateral ligament or deltoid ligament. 

The posterior talofibular ligament is part of the lateral collateral ligament, as is the calcaneofibular ligament. 

The cervical ligament runs from the talar neck to the upper surface of the calcaneus and helps to stabilise the subtalar joint: not the ankle joint.

The following movements take place at the ankle joint

1 Dorsiflexion

2 Eversion

3 Supination

4 Plantarflexion

5 Inversion

Page 13: Exam Questions Ankle Joint

The following movements take place at the ankle joint

1 Dorsiflexion T

2 Eversion F

3 Supination F

4 Plantarflexion T

5 Inversion F

Eversion and inversion and supination and pronation of the foot take place at joints distal to the ankle (talocrural) joint.

The following bones provide attachments for the medial collateral ligament of the ankle joint

1 Tibia

2 Navicular

3 Fibula

4 Calcaneus

5 Talus

Page 15: Exam Questions Ankle Joint

The following bones provide attachments for the medial collateral ligament of the ankle joint

1 Tibia T

2 Navicular T

3 Fibula F

4 Calcaneus T

5 Talus T

The medial collateral ligament has a superficial part that has fibres from the tibia to the posterior talus, sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus and navicular tuberosity and a deep part whose fibres run from the medial malleolus of the tibia to the medial aspect of the body of the talus.

Concerning the ankle joint:

1 it is more stable in plantar flexion than in dorsiflexion

2 it is a mortise joint

3 it is capable of plantar flexion, extension (dorsi-flexion), inversion and eversion

4 it is crossed on its dorsal aspect by the tendon of peroneus longus

5 it is crossed on its dorsal aspect by the tendon of peroneus tertius

F

4 it is crossed on its dorsal aspect by the tendon of peroneus longus

F

5 it is crossed on its dorsal aspect by the tendon of peroneus tertius

T

The ankle joint is a hinge joint and is not capable of inversion and eversion.Peroneus longus runs behind the lateral malleolus and thus crosses the ankle joint on its posterolateral aspect.

Concerning movements of the ankle and foot

1 tibialis anterior is a dorsiflexor of the ankle joint and invertor of the foot

2 peroneus brevis is a plantar flexor of the ankle joint and invertor of the foot

3 peroneus tertius is a dorsiflexor of the ankle joint and evertor of the foot

4 tibialis posterior is a plantarflexor of the ankle joint and invertor of the foot

5 soleus is a plantarflexor of the ankle joint and invertor of the foot

Concerning movements of the ankle and foot

1 tibialis anterior is a dorsiflexor of the ankle joint and invertor of the foot

T

2 peroneus brevis is a plantar flexor of the ankle joint and invertor of the foot

F

3 peroneus tertius is a dorsiflexor of the ankle joint and evertor of the foot

T

4 tibialis posterior is a plantarflexor of the ankle joint and invertor of the foot

T

5 soleus is a plantarflexor of the ankle joint and invertor of the foot

F

Peroneus brevis is indeed a weak plantarflexor of the ankle but it is an evertor of the foot

Soleus is a plantar flexor of the ankle joint; however it can neither evert nor invert the foot

Concerning the ankle joint

1 tibialis anterior is the principal dorsi-flexor

2 peroneus tertius is a posterolateral relation of the joint

3 the lateral collateral ligament complex consists of three discrete bands

4 tibialis posterior is the principal plantar-flexor

5 the medial collateral ligament (deltoid ligament) is attached to the sustentaculum tali

2 peroneus tertius is a posterolateral relation of the joint

F

3 the lateral collateral ligament complex consists of three discrete bands

T

4 tibialis posterior is the principal plantar-flexor F

5 the medial collateral ligament (deltoid ligament) is attached to the sustentaculum tali

T

Peroneus longus and brevis run behind the lateral malleolus and thus areposterolateral relations of the ankle joint, but not peroneus tertius which crosses in front of the ankle joint, and is thus an anterior relation. 

Tibialis posterior is a plantar-flexor but not the principal plantar-flexor. That honour goes to gastrocnemius/soleus which together plantar-flex the ankle jointthrough the tendo-calcaneus.

Concerning the talus

1 it is the largest bone in the tarsus

2 it has no muscles or tendons inserted to it

3 it articulates with the navicular

4 it forms the roof of the sinus tarsi

5 it is the tarsal bone that most commonly undergoes avascular necrosis

Page 23: Exam Questions Ankle Joint

Concerning the talus

1 it is the largest bone in the tarsus F

2 it has no muscles or tendons inserted to it T

3 it articulates with the navicular T

4 it forms the roof of the sinus tarsi T

5 it is the tarsal bone that most commonly undergoes avascular necrosis

T

The calcaneus is the largest bone in the tarsus. 

The sinus tarsi is a bony tunnel between the neck of the talus and the upper surface of the calcaneus. 

The lack of tendinous/muscular attachments is believed to be animportant factor in the talus’s particular susceptibility to avascular necrosis.

Concerning the topographical relations of the ankle (talocrural) region:

1 The tendon of tibialis anterior lies lateral to extensor hallucis longus tendon

2 The tendon of peroneus (fibularis) tertius lies lateral to that of extensor digitorum longus

3 the long saphenous vein runs in front of the medial malleolus

4 the short saphenous vein runs in front of the lateral malleolus

5 the anterior tibial artery lies lateral to the deep peroneal nerve

T

3 the long saphenous vein runs in front of the medial malleolus T

4 the short saphenous vein runs in front of the lateral malleolus F

5 the anterior tibial artery lies lateral to the deep peroneal nerve F

Tibialis anterior is the most medial of the tendons which cross in front of the ankle joint.

The short saphenous vein accompanied by the sural nerve, runs posterior to the lateral malleolus, not anterior.

The anterior tibial artery lies medial to the deep peroneal nerve.
