A condyloid joint (also called condylar ellipsoidal or bicondylar) is an ovoid articular surface or condyle that is received into an elliptical cavity. This permits movement in two planes allowing […]

The sacrococcygeal symphysis (sacrococcygeal articulation articulation of the sacrum and coccyx) is an amphiarthrodial joint formed between the oval surface at the apex of the sacrum and the base of […]

The posterior ligament of the lateral malleolus (posterior tibiofibular ligament posterior inferior ligament). It is smaller than the anterior ligament of the lateral malleolus and is disposed in a similar […]

The inferior transverse ligament of the tibiofibular syndesmosis is a connective tissue structure in the lower leg that lies in front of the posterior ligament.

The anterior ligament of the lateral malleolus (anterior tibiofibular ligament or anterior inferior ligament) is a flat triangular band of fibers broader below than above which extends obliquely downward and […]

The posterior ligament of the head of the fibula is a part of the knee. It is a single thick and broad band which passes obliquely upward from the back […]

The proximal tibiofibular articulation (also called superior tibiofibular joint) is an arthrodial joint between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the head of the fibula.

The distal tibiofibular joint (tibiofibular syndesmosis) is formed by the rough convex surface of the medial side of the distal end of the fibula and a rough concave surface on […]

The Interosseous Sacroiliac Ligament lies deep to the posterior ligament and consists of a series of short strong fibers connecting the tuberosities of the sacrum and ilium. The major function […]

The posterior sacroiliac ligament is situated in a deep depression between the sacrum and ilium behind; it is strong and forms the chief bond of union between the bones. It […]
