SUMMARY
1. The talocrural joint is a synovial hinge joint, its articular surfaces are covered by hyaline cartilage. It connects the distal ends of the tibia & fibula with the proximal end of the talus.
2. Strong calcaneofibular ligament (laterally) + deltoid ligament (medially) strengthen the joint.
3. Blood supply of the capsule + ligaments - ATA + PTA + peroneal artery.
4. Nerve supply - deep peroneal n. + tibial n.
