Tendon of tibialis posterior muscle (cut) Sustentaculum tali; articul; surface for talu Articular surface on navicular for head of talus | Calcaneonavicular part / of bifurcate ligament Interosseous talo- calcaneal ligament Articular surface on calcaneus for body of talus a deeper plane than, the calcaneo-fibular ligament of the ankle-joint. It con- sists of short fibres passing between the adjacent rough lateral margins of the two bones. The ligamentum talocalcaneum posterius (Fig. 324) closes the joint-cavity on its posterior aspect. It consists of fibres which radiate from the posterior aspect of the posterior process of the talus to the superior surface of the calcaneus, immediately behind the articular facet. The ligamentum talocalcaneum mediale lies obliquely on the medial side of the joint, and consists of fibres which extend from the medial posterior tubercle of the talus to the posterior roughened border of the sustentaculum tali. Some of its fibres become continuous with the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament. The ligamentum talocalcaneum interosseum (Fig. 325) closes the antero-medial aspect of the joint. It is the strongest of the series of ligaments entering into the capsule. Compared with it the other bands are, comparatively speaking, insigni- ficant. Its attachments are to the bottom of each groove, so that it occupies the tarsal canal formed by these opposing grooves. A synovial stratum lines the fibrous stratum, and it is distinct from other tarsal synovial membranes. Articulatio Talocal- caneonavicularis. — This is one of the most import- ant of the joints of the foot, not only because the talus is here situated in relation to the summit of the antero-posterior arch of the foot, but because the head of the talus is received into a composite socket made up of the susten- taculum tali, the navicular, and the plantar cal
