30 Οκτ 2023 · The talus articulates with four bones - the tibia, fibula, calcaneus and navicular. Within the tarsus, it articulates with the calcaneus below and the navicular in front within the talocalcaneonavicular joint. Through these articulations, it transmits the entire weight of the body to the foot.
3 Νοε 2023 · Ankle anatomy. The ankle joint, also known as the talocrural joint, allows dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the foot. It is made up of three joints: upper ankle joint (tibiotarsal), talocalcaneonavicular, and subtalar joints. The last two together are called the lower ankle joint.
The tarsals are a group of 7 irregular bones forming the hindfoot and the midfoot. These bones are arranged in two rows, proximal and distal. The bones in the proximal row form the hindfoot, while those in the distal row from the midfoot. Hindfoot. Talus. Calcaneus.
16 Ιουλ 2023 · The talus is the most superior of the tarsal bones. It transmits the weight of the entire body to the foot. It has three articulations: Superiorly – ankle joint – between the talus and the bones of the leg (the tibia and fibula). Inferiorly – subtalar joint – between the talus and calcaneus.
The talus is an incredible bone; despite its small size, it transmits considerable force during the normal gait cycle and even more significantly during impact activities. The talus is shaped like a truncated cone and is wider anteriorly than posteriorly (it is an irregular saddle-shaped bone).
The talus bone of the ankle joint connects the leg to the foot. The head of talus looks forward and medialward ; its anterior articular or navicular surface is large, oval, and convex. Its inferior surface has two facets, which are best seen in the fresh condition.
31 Οκτ 2023 · Tarsal bones of the hindfoot include the calcaneus and talus, while bones of the midfoot comprise the navicular, cuboid and cuneiform bones. The tarsal bones of the foot act as important attachment points for muscles of the leg and foot and aid in maintaining the arches of the foot.
