Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.4K
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. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. 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...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

14.3K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

    Summary

    This semirigid orthoplast support system offers ankle injury protection while allowing athletic participation. It supports healing ligamentous tissue during recovery and rehabilitation.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Biomechanical Engineering

    Background:

    • Ankle injuries are common in athletes, often involving ligamentous tissue damage.
    • Traditional immobilization methods can restrict necessary mobility for rehabilitation and return to sport.
    • There is a need for supportive devices that balance protection with functional recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel semirigid orthoplast support system for ankle injuries.
    • To determine the system's efficacy in protecting healing ligamentous tissue.
    • To assess the degree of mobility allowed for athletic participation.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a semirigid orthoplast support system using advanced materials.
    • Clinical assessment of the system's application in patients with ankle injuries.
