[The frondiformis ligament and stabilization of the posterior tarsus].
The frondiformis ligament is a part of the retinaculum extensorum of the instep. Actuated by the tendons of the extensor digitorum longus, it takes a direct effect on the talus and the calcaneum, induces the valgus of the tarsus and contributes to the stability of the ankle and the foot.
