Lateral Malleoligament Interosseous Ligament

The ligament of the lateral interosseous junction for the ankles (L. m. interosseum of the lateral malleolus) is a fibrous fibrous distal ligamentous apparatus that is part of the lateral ligament of the ankle joint. Its anatomical location and attachment points provide a unique function of balance and flexibility during the movements of the human lower limb. Important aspects of this structure also include its normal functioning and pathologies that can affect support, gait, bone, joint and nerve health. Let's take a closer look at these aspects.

Lateral interosseous ligament (l.interossei laterale tibiae et fibulae). It originates from the anterior edge of the lateral epicondyle of the femur and the lateral part of the articular fascia, passes into the osteo-fibrous bridge between the lateral condyles of the femur and tibia and connects with the proximal ends of the interosseous fibrous membranes of the leg, forming a single whole with them. Interosseous fibrous membranes are wide plates, part of which at the upper end continues into the periosteum of the femur, the other merges with the articular cartilage of the distal end of the tibia and femur. At the posterior end, the interosseous plates fill the gap between the condyles and end in a strong connective tissue bundle - the deltoid ligament. Thus, there are no ligaments corresponding to the interosseous membranes and the interosseous membrane of the foot connecting the proximal ends of the II and III-IV metatarsal bones.
