Distal tibiofibular syndesmosis
The tibiofibular syndesmosis is a complex fibrous joint composed of multiple ligaments and a broad fibrous interosseous membrane that spans between the tibia and fibula throughout the length of both bones.
The distal osseous part of this syndesmotic joint includes the following four components:
- anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL)
- posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL)
- transverse ligament
- interosseous membrane
