Tibiospring Ligament

From WikiSM
(Redirected from Tibiospring ligament)

Description

The superficial layer is a broad and triangular structure composed of multiple fascicles. It is the weakest layer of the deltoid complex. The commonly recognized components of this layer are the tibionavicular ligament (TNL), the tibiospring ligament (TSL), and the tibiocalcaneal ligament (TCL). All three of these fascicles blend with the superomedial portion of the spring ligament complex (SL).[1]
The superficial layer of the deltoid ligament includes the Superficial Posterior Tibiotalar Ligament, Tibiospring Ligament, Tibionavicular Ligament, Tibiocalcaneal Ligament, Spring Ligament[2]
