Abstract
The calcaneofibular ligament plays a role in stabilizing the ankle joint complex to multidirectional loads and the role differs with load directions. The in situ force of the calcaneofibular ligament is larger at the dorsiflexed position. This ligament provides the primary restraint to the inversion ankle stability.
