| calcaneofibular ligament | <anatomy> The middle of the three fascicles that form the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle joint, reinforcing the lateral side of the ankle joint; the remaining two ligaments of the lateral collateral ligaments are the anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments. Synonym: ligamentum calcaneofibulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcaneonavicular ligament | <anatomy> The medial part of the ligamentum bifurcatum. Synonym: ligamentum calcaneonaviculare. (05 Mar 2000) |
