Function of anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments during in-vivo motion of the ankle joint complex

摘要

BackgroundDespite the numerous in-vitro studies on the mechanical properties and simulated injury mechanisms of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), the in-vivo biomechanical behavior of these two ligaments has not yet been described.
