There are many ligaments that are in the ankle, but the most common and the strongest is the deltoid. There are also three lateral ligaments. Anterior Talofibular (which is the ligament that runs in the front) this where sprained ankles frequently occur. Posterior Talofibular (which is the ligament that runs in the back). Calcaneofibular is attached to the lateral malleolus. Hope this helped! :)
