THE INTERTARSAL ARTICULATIONS (;) The intertarsal articulations are of the arthrodial talocalcaneal joint is formed by the talus and the addition to a capsule there are the anterior, posterior, lateral, Tibia Deltoid UgnmcntTendon of tibialis tig. ^^ Sustentaculum tali.

The talocalcaneonavicular joint is formed by the talus, calcaneumand naviculare. It is at the summit of the anteroposterior arch ofthe foot. The most important ligament is the plantar calcaneona-vicular ligament as it gives support to the arch and forms part of thearticulation. It blends with the deltoid ligament of the ankle ligaments are, the calcaneonavicular part of the bifurcate liga-ment and the posterior talonavicular ligament. The calcaneocuboid articulation is surrounded by a capsule whichis supported by other ligaments as, the medial calcaneocuboid (thecalcaneocuboid part of the bifurcate ligament), dorsal, lateral andinferior calcaneocuboid ligaments.
