Abstract
Understanding of the ankle and subtalar joint ligaments is essential to recognize and manage foot and ankle disorders. The stability of both joints relies on the integrity of its ligaments. The ankle joint is stabilized by the lateral and medial ligamentous complexes while the subtalar joint is stabilized by its extrinsic and intrinsic ligaments. Most injuries to these ligaments are linked with ankle sprains. Inversion or eversion mechanics affect the ligamentous complexes. A profound knowledge of the ligament's anatomy allows orthopedic surgeons to further understand anatomic or nonanatomic reconstructions.
