![]() The tibiofibular mortise is wedge-shaped, since it is narrower from side to side at its posterior margin and wider at its anterior margin (see Fig. A small articular surface on the lateral aspect of the tibial malleolus and a larger articular surface on the medial aspect of the fibular malleolus complete the sides of the tibiofibular mortise. The tibial plafond serves as the surface for transmitting loads from the leg to the talar trochlea. so-called because it forms an anteroposteriorly arched ceiling above the trochlea of the talus. The foot and ankle are also major generators of the propulsive force for locomotion. The foot serves as a supporting base in standing and during the stance phase of gait. ![]() Schneck, MD, PhD Temple University Hospital and School of Medicine An appreciation of the anatomy, mechanics, and kinesiology of the ankle and foot is essential to understanding the pathomechanics of ankle and foot derangements and their diagnosis.

The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are joined ANKLE JOINT Distal Tibia and Fibula The ankle joint is primarily a hinge-type joint between the tibiofibular mortise and the talar trochlea. ![]() Anatomy and Kinesiology of the Ankle and Foot Anatomy and Kinesiology of the Ankle and FootĪnatotny and Kinesiology of the Ankle and Foot Carson D. ![]()
