Background:

Studies showed that the anatomy of the lateral complex of the ankle joint in relation to peroneal tendons, distal fibula and talus in 22 formalin fixed ankles. In their study, the mean length in single band form (23 percent) was 20.84 mm and the mean width was 7.61 mm. In bifurcate forms (59 percent), the mean length was 18.74 mm and the mean width was 5.39 mm in the superior band. In the inferior band, the mean length was 15.33 mm and the mean width was 4.92 mm. In trifurcate forms (18 percent), the mean length and width in the superior part was 14.38 mm and 4.05 mm. These studies prompted us to study and check the variations if present in the local population. This study is dedicated to find the variations present in the Anterior Talo – Fibular Ligaments.
