What is the anatomy of the ankle joint?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ankle joint is formed by the articulation of three bones: the distal end of the tibia, the fibula, and the talus. These three bones are held together by a network of ligaments, which stabilize the joint and protect it from abnormal movements and injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Articular cartilage is the smooth, white, and soft tissue that covers the joint surfaces of the bones, allowing them to glide against each other and facilitating smooth motion while also absorbing shock. This is a specialized type of cartilage known as hyaline cartilage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
