Ligaments.

The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is a ligament that prevents medial and anterior displacement of the talus.

The Calcaneofibular ligament prevents lateral displacement. connects the talus and calcaneus providing with stabilization in the ankle joint and subtalar joint.

This two ligaments are often associated with sprained ankles.
