Abstract:PurposeCalcaneo bular bular ligament (CFL) injuries are harder to diagnose than anterior talo bular ligament (ATFL) ones. This study aimed to clarify the bular attachment of the CFL and verify the bony landmark for evaluating the CFL on ultrasonography.
MethodsTo con rm the control function of the CFL, we performed passive movement manually using cadaveric ankles and observed the ankle positions where the CFLs were tense. The ATFL and CFL were removed, and the bone morphology of the CFL attachment and inferior… Show more
