This document provides an overview of ankle anatomy, including the bony anatomy and major ligaments and muscles. The ankle is made up of the tibia and fibula of the lower leg meeting the talus bone of the foot. Key ligaments that provide stability to the ankle joint include the lateral ligaments (anterior talofibular, calcaneofibular, posterior talofibular), deltoid ligament, syndesmosis ligaments (anterior inferior tibiofibular, posterior inferior tibiofibular), and bifurcate ligament. Major muscles that act on the ankle include the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, peroneus longus/brevis, flexor
