tibiofibular

The proximal tibiofibular joint is a small plane joint.

The tibia is a part of four joints; the knee, ankle, superior and inferior tibiofibular joint.

The tibiofibular joints are the articulations between the tibia and fibula which allows very little movement.

Examples include the distal tibiofibular joint as well as the radioulnar joint.

Tibiofibular joint may refer to:

It merges with the fibrous capsule of the proximal tibiofibular joint and restrains it's movements further.

A fractured fibula in addition to detaching the medial malleolus will tear the tibiofibular syndesmosis.

This damages the ligaments on the inside of the ankle and fractures the fibula at the point of contact (usually just above the tibiofibular syndesmosis).

These are the medial and lateral tibiofemoral compartments, the patellofemoral compartment and the superior tibiofibular joint.

It also avoids the need to touch the lateral side of the knee, i.e. the lateral collateral ligament and upper tibiofibular joint.

He performed experiments on cadavers and discovered that stress to the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament could lead to this type of avulsion fracture.

The opposite hand grasps the lateral portion of the leg at the level of the superior tibiofibular joint, increasing the force of internal rotation.

The superior tibiofibular articulation is an arthrodial joint between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the head of the fibula.

A grade I injury is a partial anteroinferior tibiofibular ligament tear, meaning the exorotation and squeeze tests are negative for this grade.

It is continuous below with the interosseous ligament of the tibiofibular syndesmosis, and presents numerous perforations for the passage of small vessels.

The talus then moves laterally, shearing off the lateral malleolus or, more commonly, breaking the fibula superior to the tibiofibular syndesmosis.

The anterior tibial veins drain the ankle joint, knee joint, tibiofibular joint, and the anterior portion of the lower leg.

The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the Inferior tibiofibular joint.

The posterior ligament of the lateral malleolus (posterior tibiofibular ligament, posterior inferior ligament).

The inferior transverse ligament of the tibiofibular syndesmosis is a connective tissue structure in the lower leg that lies in front of the posterior ligament.

Grade II injury is a complete anteroinferior tibiofibular ligament and inferior interossesus ligament tear, meaning that squeeze test and exorotation are positive.

Le Fort fracture of ankle - a vertical fracture of the antero-medial part of the distal fibula with avulsion of the anterior tibiofibular ligament.

The Inferior transverse ligament of the tibiofibular syndesmosis is included in older versions of Gray's Anatomy, but not in Terminologia Anatomica.

Maisonneuve fracture - a spiral fracture of the proximal third of the fibula associated with a tear of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and the interosseous membrane.

It uses the interval between the popliteus and soleus muscles and exposes the uppermost lateral portion of the posterior tibial metaphysis and the proximal tibiofibular joint.
