|July 1, 1975
Abstract:
1. The anterior drawer is a test of anterior cruciate ligament integrity. 2. The anterior cruciate ligament is composed of two parts: the anteromedial band and the posterolater bulk. 3. The anteromedial band is the primary check against anterior drawer. 4. Other structures may contribute to the resistance of anterior drawer only if the anteromedial band has been injuried. 5. The posterior cruciate ligament is a check against posterior drawer. 6. In long term follow-up, the presence of anterior drawer is associated with poor overall results.

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg.

This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
