. Anatomy, descriptive and applied. Anatomy. For Uh metatarsal' For cuhoid Fig. 200.—The left external cuneiform. A. Postero-internal. Antero-external view. an interosseous ligament. The three facets for articulation with the three meta- tarsal bones are continuous with one another, and covered by a prolongation of the same cartilage; the facets for articulation with the middle cuneiform and scaphoid are also continuous, but that for articulation with the cuboid is usually separate. The dorsal surface is of an oblong square form, its posterior external angle being prolonged backward. The plantar surface is an obtuse rounded margin, and serves for the attachment of ligaments and a part of the tendon of the Tibialis posticus, and for part of the fibres of origin of the Flexor brevis hallucis. To ascertain to which side the bone belongs, hold it with the broad dorsal surface upward, the prolonged edge backward; the separate articular facet for the cuboid will point to the proper side. Articulations.—With dx bones—the scaphoid, middle cuneiform, cuboid, and second, third, and fourth metatarsal bones. Attachment of Muscles.—To two—]>3,vt of the Tibialis posticus, and Flexor brevis hallucis. The number of tarsal bones may be reduced owing to congenital ankylosis which may occur between the os calcis and cuboid, the os calcis and scaphoid, the os calcis and astragalus, or the astragalus and scaphoid. The Metatarsal Bones (ossa metatarsalia).—The metatarsal bones are five in number, and are numbered one to five, in accordance with their position from within outward; they are long bones, and present for examination a shaft and two Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gray, Henry, 1825-1861; Spitzka, Edward Anthony, 1876-1922.
