WHAT HAVE WE COVERED At the end of this section you should be confident of evaluating the normal anatomy and tears of the structures of the distal syndesmosis: Anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL). Posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL ). Transverse tibiofibular ligament (TTFL). Tibiofibular interosseous ligament (TFIL). Interosseous recess.   UP NEXT TOMORROW
