THE HOCK JOIXT 243 attached to the tibial by plantar and interosseous (astragalo-seaphoid) ligaments, and to the fibular tarsal by a short oblique (calcaneo-scaphoid) band. The fourth is attached to the fibular tarsal by interosseous and plantar icalcaneo-cuboidi ligaments. The ifuswli first and second tarsals are connected with the fibular tarsal by a plantar (calcaneo-cunean) ligament. (4) The distal tarsal bones are connected wnth the metatarsus by tarso-metatarsal ligaments, which are not distinct from the common ligaments, except in the case of the interosseous ligament between the third tarsal and metatarsal bones. Movements.—These are flexion and extension, which take place at the tibio- tarsal joint. The movements between the tarsal bones, and between the latter and the metatarsus, are so limited as to be neghgible so far as the action of the joint as a whole is concerned.

The section is cut so far laterally that the deep flexor tendon does not show. is about 150° to 1G0°. Complete extension is prevented bj- tension of the collateral ligaments. Flexion is checked by contact of the metatarsus with the leg, provitled the stifle joint is also flexed. Owing to the fact that the axis of motion is sUghtly obhque, the lower part of the limb de\'iates somewhat outward during flexion. The long coUateral hgaments are tense in extension, the short ones in flexion, of the joint.
