Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The tibiofibular syndesmosis is a complex fibrous joint composed of multiple ligaments and a broad fibrous interosseous membrane that spans between the tibia and fibula throughout the length of both bones.
Gross anatomy
The distal osseous part of this syndesmotic joint includes the following four components:
- anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL)
- posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL)
- transverse tibiofibular ligament
- interosseous membrane
Related pathology
- distal tibiofibular syndesmotic injury: ~5% (range 1-11%) of all ankle injuries involve the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, which may lead to chronic instability and pain
