Tarsometatarsal Articulations

(Articulationes Tarsometatarseae) These are arthrodial joints. The bones entering into their formation are the first, second, and third cuneiforms, and the cuboid, which articulate with the bases of the metatarsal bones. The first metatarsal bone articulates with the...

Cuboideonavicular Articulation

The navicular bone is connected with the cuboid by dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments.   Movements The movements permitted between the navicular and cuboid bones are limited to a slight gliding upon each other.

Intercuneiform and Cuneocuboid Articulations

The three cuneiform bones and the cuboid are connected together by dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments.   Movements The movements permitted between these bones are limited to a slight gliding upon each other.

Cuneonavicular Articulation

(articulatio cuneonavicularis; articulation of the navicular with the cuneiform bones).—The navicular is connected to the three cuneiform bones by dorsal and plantar ligaments.   Movements Mere gliding movements are permitted between the navicular and cuneiform...

Talocalcaneal Articulation

(articulatio talocalcanea; articulation of the calcaneus and astragalus; calcaneo-astragaloid articulation). The articulations between the calcaneus and talus are two: anterior and posterior. Of these: the anterior forms part of the talocalcaneonavicular joint, and...

Talocalcaneonavicular Articulation

(articulatio talocalcaneonavicularis) This articulation is an arthrodial joint: the rounded head of the talus being received into the concavity formed by the posterior surface of the navicular, the anterior articular surface of the calcaneus, and the upper surface of...
