posterior tibiofibular ligament

The posterior tibiofibular ligament is a strong band of tissue that connects the tibia (shinbone) and fibula (the smaller bone outside your leg) at the back of the lower leg, near the ankle. It helps stabilize the connection between these two bones, especially during movements like walking or running, and supports the stability of the ankle joint. Proper functioning of this ligament is essential to prevent excessive movement or injury to the ankle area, maintaining overall leg stability.
