Deltoid Ligament

Deltoid Ligament

The Deltoid Ligament is a strong and broad ligament located on the inner side of the ankle, comprising multiple bands that connect the tibia (shinbone) to various bones in the foot, including the talus and calcaneus. It forms the medial (inner) aspect of the ankle joint and plays a crucial role in providing stability. The deltoid ligament is divided into four distinct bands: the tibionavicular, tibiocalcaneal, anterior tibiotalar, and posterior tibiotalar ligaments. Together, these bands contribute to the overall support and integrity of the ankle, preventing excessive eversion (rolling outward) of the foot. Injuries to the deltoid ligament are less common than lateral ankle sprains but can occur due to severe twisting or forceful impacts. Deltoid ligament injuries may present with pain, swelling, and instability on the inner side of the ankle. Understanding the anatomy and function of the deltoid ligament is crucial in orthopaedics, particularly when assessing and treating ankle injuries. Management may include conservative measures such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), as well as more advanced interventions in severe cases, including surgical repair or reconstruction.
