Biomechanics and Anatomy The anatomical and biomechanical makeup of the lateral side of the ankles have an innate vulnerability to ligamentous sprain. Inversion and eversion are permitted by two joints‚ the talocrural and the subtalor joint (Hertel et al‚ 1999). The lateral malleolus is comparably longer than the medial‚ which happens to create a fulcrum that inclines the ankle to inversion sprains (Booher & Thibodeau‚ 1994). The lateral ligament complex of the ankle is made up of the anterior talofibular
