Ligaments are generally distributed near the joints of the body, mainly including the ligaments of the lower leg and the ligaments of the thigh.
1. Ligaments of the lower leg: mainly concentrated near the knee and ankle joints, including the ligaments connecting the tibia and fibula. For example, at the top of the tibia of the calf, there is the cruciate ligament connected with the knee joint, the patellar ligament on the anterior side of the tibia, and the medial and lateral collateral ligaments on both sides. The role of these ligaments is mainly used to stabilize the knee joint, preventing the knee joint from shifting forward and backward.
At the ankle end of the lower leg, there are generally anterior tibiofibular ligament, posterior tibiofibular ligament, heel fibular ligament, deltoid ligament, etc. These ligaments are mainly used to ensure that the lower leg and the ankle joint are connected and fixed.
2. Ligaments of the thigh: mainly distributed in the hip joint, knee joint, etc., the thigh near the muscle is thicker, ligament distribution is more, life is vulnerable to trauma, chronic wear and tear and other factors, thigh ligament strain, such as localized pain, swelling and so on.
In short, ligaments are mainly distributed in the human body near the joints, need to pay extra attention to the problem of ligament strain.
