Ankle Ligament Tensile Forces at the End Points of Passive Circumferential Rotating Motion of the Ankle and Subtalar Joint Complex

Abstract

The ATF ligament has an important role in the supination position in plantarflexion, CF and TC ligaments also are important for pronation in plantarflexion, and the PTF is an important stabilizer in dorsiflexion. This study provides baseline information for further research related to ligament instability and reconstruction operations.
