Ligament of the Head of the Fibula Anterior

ligament of the anterior head of the fibula - (l. capitis fibulae anterius, pna) is an anatomical structure that is a bundle of collagen fibers that connect the anterior surface of the head of the fibula with the anterior tibial condyle.

This ligament is one of the supporting ligaments of the knee joint. It strengthens the joint capsule anteriorly and prevents the head of the fibula from moving posteriorly when the knee flexes. In addition, the ligament limits the rotation of the tibia around the longitudinal axis.

Injury to the anterior fibular head ligament can lead to knee instability and chronic pain. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination and MRI imaging. Treatment includes immobilization, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical reconstruction of the ligament.

Anterior fibular head ligament

The first ligament of the head of the fibula (lat. l. caput fibulae anteriores or the first tibiofibular ligament) is a ligament in the ankle joint, connecting the distal third of the fibula and tibia. It has a thick triangular-shaped capsule that separates it from the rest of the ligamentous structures of the joint: Posterior tibiofibular ligament, Lateral, Medial, Lateral-lateral ligament.
