IJSR International Journal of Scientific Research 2277 - 8179 Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research ijsr-7-3-14653 Original Research Paper A Study of Morphometry of Anterior Talo – Fibular Ligament Shishir Kumar Dr. March 2018 7 3 01 02 ABSTRACT

 

Background:

Anterior talofibular ligament is a flat, quadrilateral and a relatively strong ligament. It has two bands separated by some vascular branches. The ligament originates from the inferior oblique segment on the anterior border of the lateral malleolus. It courses anteromedially and inserts on the talar body just anterior to the lateral malleolar articular surface. This study puts in an effort to know the morphometry of anterior talo – fibular Ligament so as to be useful to the orthopedics surgeon and other radiological Department so as to give an ideal treatment in reconstruction surgeries.
