calcaneofibular ligament

The summit is rounded, and gives attachment to the calcaneofibular ligament.

When the ankle becomes inverted, the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments are damaged.

The anterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament are reconstructed.

Another ligament that can be injured in a severe ankle sprain is the calcaneofibular ligament.

The calcaneofibular ligament is attached at the lateral malleolus and to the lateral surface of the calcaneus.

It is placed in front of, but on a deeper plane than, the calcaneofibular ligament, with the fibers of which it is parallel.

The short, strong lateral talocalcaneal ligament connects from the lateral talus under the fibular facet to the lateral calcaneus, and runs parallel to the calcaneofibular ligament.

The ankle joint is bound by the strong deltoid ligament and three lateral ligaments: the anterior talofibular ligament, the posterior talofibular ligament, and the calcaneofibular ligament.

The calcaneofibular ligament is a narrow, rounded cord, running from the tip of the lateral malleolus of the fibula downward and slightly backward to a tubercle on the lateral surface of the calcaneus.
