The synovial membrane between the second and third cuneiforms behind, and the second and third metatarsal bones in front, is part of the great tarsal synovial membrane. Two prolongations are sent forward from it, one between the adjacent sides of the second and third, and another between those of the third and fourth metatarsal bones.
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 ...
The navicular bursa is located between the flexor surface of the navicular bone and the deep digital flexor tendon, which runs between the bursa and the distal phalanx. [8] The central tarsal bone in the hock of the horse is homologous and analogous to the navicular bone of the human foot, and thus the navicular bone in the horse is a different ...
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; Talocalcaneonavicular joint; Calcaneocuboid joint; Cuneonavicular joint; Cuboideonavicular joint; Intercuneiform joints

It is on the ulnar side of the hand, but does not directly articulate with the ulna. Instead, it is connected to and articulates with the ulna through the Triangular fibrocartilage disc [1] and ligament, which forms part of the ulnocarpal joint capsule. [2] It connects with the pisiform, hamate, and lunate bones. It is the 2nd most commonly ...
Some early land vertebrates had more than one (up to three) os centrale per hand or foot (plural "(ossa) centralia"). Distal bones, one per finger / toe at the base of each metacarpal or metatarsal. In mammals, the 4th and 5th fuse. In the horse, the first is lost.
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.
