Cunningham's Text-book of anatomy cunninghamstextb00cunn Year: 1914 ( Trochlear process Lateral process Facets for talus spring the fibres of origin of the abductor digiti quinti muscle. On the anterior part of the plantar surface there is an elevated elongated tubercle, which terminates somewhat abruptly just behind the anterior border of this aspect of the bone, giving rise at times to a notch. From the former spring the fibres of the long plantar ligament, whilst the latter serves for the attachment of the deeper fibres of the plantar calcaneo-cuboid ligament. The two heads of origin of the quadratus plantse muscle arise from the bone on either side of the long plantar ligament. The medial surface of the calcaneus is crossed obliquely, from above downwards and forwards, by a broad groove of considerable depth; along this pass many of the structures which enter the sole of the foot from the back of the leg. The groove is overhung in front and above by a projecting bracket- like process, called the sustenta- culum tali. The plantar surface of the sustentaculum is chan- nelled by a groove, in which is lodged the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus muscle; whilst its medial border, to which is attached a part of the deltoid ligament (tibio-calcanean fibres) of the ankle, is overlain by the tendon of the flexor digitorum longus. To the anterior border of the sustentaculum is attached the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament, and placed on its dorsal surface is the articular facet already alluded to (facies articularis media). Posteriorly the medial surface of the bone is limited interiorly by the pro- jection of the medial process of the tuber calcanei, and above by the medial lipped edge of the tuberosity. The lateral surface, broad behind and narrower in front, is of flattened form. Springing from it, just below the lateral end of the sinus tarsi, is the trochlear process, often in- distinctly
