Outer ankle ligaments, artwork C013 / 4452
Outer ankle ligaments. Computer artwork of the bones and ligaments (white) of the right foot and ankle seen from the side. The two lower leg bones (upper left) are the fibula and tibia (behind fibula). In the foot, from left to right, are the heel bone (calcaneus), the tarsal bones, the metatarsals, and the phalanges (toes). The tibia and fibula articulate with the talus bone in the foot to form the ankle joint. Ligaments are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue that hold the bones of a joint together. These ligaments of the outer side of the ankle, named for the bones they join, are the tibiofibular, talofibular, and calcaneofibular

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of outer ankle ligaments in exquisite detail. Crafted with precision and artistry, artwork C013 / 4452 from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library offers a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy of the right foot and ankle seen from a side view. The image begins by highlighting the fibula and tibia, the two lower leg bones that form a sturdy foundation for this complex joint. Moving down to the foot, we encounter an array of essential structures: starting with the calcaneus or heel bone, followed by the tarsal bones, metatarsals, and phalanges (toes). These elements work harmoniously to support our weight while enabling fluid movement. However, what truly captures attention are the tough bands of fibrous connective tissue known as ligaments. In this artwork, we witness three specific ligaments on the outer side of the ankle: tibiofibular, talofibular, and calcaneofibular. These resilient connectors play a crucial role in maintaining stability within joints by securely holding bones together. By combining scientific accuracy with artistic flair, this print not only educates but also captivates viewers. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in unraveling nature's mysteries while showcasing our body's remarkable design. Whether you're an anatomy enthusiast or simply appreciate beauty in science, this stunning illustration is sure to leave you awestruck at our wondrous musculoskeletal system.
