Lateral Collateral Ligament of Ankle Joint

The lateral collateral ligament of ankle joint (or external lateral ligament of the ankle-joint) are ligaments of the ankle which attach to the fibula.

Its components are:

  • anterior talofibular ligament
  • posterior talofibular ligament
  • calcaneofibular ligament
