Inner ankle ligaments. Artwork of a medial (inner side) view of the bones, ligaments (straps) and articular cartilage (white) of the left foot and ankle. The two lower leg bones (upper left) are the tibia (thicker bone) and fibula. In the foot, from left to right, are the heel bone (calcaneus), the tarsal bones, the metatarsals, and the phalanges (toes). The tibia and fibula articulate with the talus bone in the foot to form the ankle joint. Ligaments are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue that hold the bones of a joint together. These ligaments of the inner side of the ankle are the tibionavicular, tibiocalcaneal and posterior tibiotalar (collectively the deltoid ligament).
