Deltoid Ligament Superficial Tibiocalcaneal

pars tibiocalcanealis ligamenti deltoidei

The tibiocalcaneal ligament runs from the medial malleolus to the sustentaculum tali, providing the primary calcaneal attachment of the medial ankle ligament.

Region: Lower Leg
Biomechanics

Function & Actions

Primary medial ankle constraint against hindfoot valgus and calcaneal eversion, the key deltoid component in subtalar stabilisation.

Clinical Relevance

Clinical Notes

Attenuation allows calcaneal eversion beneath the talus in flatfoot deformity. Restored by medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy and spring ligament repair in flatfoot reconstruction.
