  2. Tarsometatarsal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsometatarsal_joints

    The tarsometatarsal joints (Lisfranc joints) are arthrodial joints in the foot. The tarsometatarsal joints involve the first, second and third cuneiform bones, the cuboid bone and the metatarsal bones. The eponym of Lisfranc joint is 18th–19th-century surgeon and gynecologist Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin. [1]

  3. Tarsus (skeleton) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsus_(skeleton)

    The complex motion of the subtalar joint occurs in three planes and produces subtalar inversion and eversion. Along with the transverse tarsal joint (i.e. talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joint), the subtalar joint transforms tibial rotation into forefoot supination and pronation. The axis of rotation in the joint is directed upward 42 degrees ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hock_(anatomy)

    Degenerative joint disease of the tarsometatarsal and/or distal intertarsal joint is referred to as bone spavin. Curb , or tarsal plantar desmitis, is traditionally considered a sprain of the plantar ligament, which runs down the back of the hock, serving functionally as a tension band connecting the calcaneus, the fourth tarsal bone and the ...

  5. Intertarsal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertarsal_joints

    The intertarsal joint are the joints of the tarsal bones in the foot. There are six specific inter tarsal joints (articulations) in the human foot: Subtalar joint;

  6. Talus bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talus_bone

    The talus is the second largest of the tarsal bones; [4] it is also one of the bones in the human body with the highest percentage of its surface area covered by articular cartilage. It is also unusual in that it has a retrograde blood supply, i.e. arterial blood enters the bone at the distal end. [citation needed]

  7. Metatarsophalangeal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metatarsophalangeal_joints

    The metatarsophalangeal joints (MTP joints) are the joints between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the proximal bones (proximal phalanges) of the toes. They are analogous to the knuckles of the hand , and are consequently known as toe knuckles in common speech.

  8. Comparative foot morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_foot_morphology

    The structures in this region are intermediate in size, and typically transmit loads from the hindfoot to the forefoot. The human transverse tarsal joint of the midfoot transmits forces from the subtalar joint in the hindfoot to the forefoot joints (metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal) and associated bones (metatarsals and phalanges). [24]

  9. Intermetatarsal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermetatarsal_joints

    The intermetatarsal joints are the articulations between the base of metatarsal bones. The base of the first metatarsal is not connected with that of the second by any ligaments; in this respect the great toe resembles the thumb. The bases of the other four metatarsals are connected by the dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments.
