Posterior Talofibular Ligament
The Posterior Talofibular Ligament is a key ligament located in the ankle, connecting the talus bone to the fibula. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the ankle joint, particularly during movements that involve rotation or lateral stress.
This ligament is part of the lateral ligament complex of the ankle, which also includes the anterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament. Injury to the posterior talofibular ligament can lead to ankle instability and pain, often resulting from sprains or trauma during physical activities.
