“…It is separated by a septum of fibroadipose tissue and may be slightly deeper than the rest of the ligament. Pathology to this fascicle is frequently described as being responsible for anterolateral soft tissue impingement [1, 2, 5, 32]. Excision of this distal fascicle through open or ankle arthroscopic approach frequently resolves the patient’s complaints, whereas the ankle stability is not comprised [6, 25, 26, 31].…”

Understanding the anatomy of the ankle ligaments is important for correct diagnosis and treatment. Ankle ligament injury is the most frequent cause of acute ankle pain. Chronic ankle pain often finds its cause in laxity of one of the ankle ligaments. In this pictorial essay, the ligaments around the ankle are grouped, depending on their anatomic orientation, and each of the ankle ligaments is discussed in detail.

Impingement syndromes of the ankle involve either osseous or soft tissue impingement and can be anterior, anterolateral, or posterior. Ankle impingement syndromes are painful conditions caused by the friction of joint tissues, which are both the cause and the effect of altered joint biomechanics. The distal fascicle of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) is possible cause of anterior impingement.

“…Knowledge of its confi guration is important to understand the anatomic bases for anterolateral soft tissue impingement [ 30 ], since abrasion between the distal fascicle of the anterior tibiofi bular ligament and the talus will lead to pain.…”

A thorough knowledge of the ankle anatomy is absolutely necessary for diagnosis and adequate treatment of ankle injury. The ankle is among the most prevalent joints injured in sports, the ankle sprain being the most common ankle lesion. The ankle joint is formed by the distal tibia and fi bula, and the superior talus. Two ligamentous complexes join the bones that form the ankle: the ligaments of the tibiofi bular syndesmosis (anteroinferior tibiofi bular, posteroinferior tibiofi bular, and the interosseous tibiofi bular ligament) and the lateral (anterior talofi bular, calcaneofi bular, and the posterior talofi bular ligament) and medial (superfi cial and deep
