A syndesmosis is defined as a fibrous joint in which two adjacent bones are linked by a strong membrane or ligaments.This definition also applies for the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, which is a syndesmotic joint formed by two bones and four ligaments.
The anatomy of the numerous ligaments of the ankle joint is quite interesting. For example the syndesmosis is a common localization for injuries. The syndesmosis ligaments consist of the anterior talofibular ligament on the ventral part and the posterior talofibular ligament on the dorsal part of the distal lower leg.
